 The Tampa Bay Rays have signed right-handed reliever Joey Gerber to a minor league contract, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. As part of the deal, Gerber will receive a non-roster invitation to the Rays' MLB Spring Training camp.
Gerber, 27, is on a mission to return to the big leagues for the first time in five years. The Illinois native made his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners during the abbreviated 2020 season, where he pitched 15 2/3 innings, allowing eight runs (seven earned). Unfortunately, a forearm injury sidelined him for the better part of the next two years, leading to his release by the Mariners midway through the 2022 season. After his release, Gerber signed with the New York Yankees but continued to struggle with injuries. He missed the entire 2023 season and spent the first half of this past season on the minor league injured list.
