The Rays have released 28-year old righty reliever Chad Orvella to make room on the 40-man roster for Jorge Julio. He pitched in 19 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball for the Rays this season and he was 0-1 with a 6.12 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. Orvella pitched parts of three seasons for the Rays appearing in 69 games (0 starts) in which he was 4-10 with 1 save, a 5.79 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP. Orvella needs a new start for his career and the Rays needed a roster spot so this move will likely help everyone involved.
