Eveland was released by the Rays on Wednesday, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo reports.
EDGE Analysis
He had a 1.93 ERA in 4.2 spring innings, so the move comes as something of a surprise, but perhaps Eveland found out he was unlikely to break camp with the big league club and requested his release. Regardless of where he lands, he will simply serve as organizational bullpen depth.

Eveland re-signed with the Rays on a minor league deal Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Eveland struggled with command during his tenure with the big league club, but his performance at Triple-A Durham was impressive (0.30 ERA, 3.5 K/BB), so the Rays brought him back to the organization. He'll likely act as organizational depth, although he could find his way back to the Trop if the big league bullpen has troubles with injuries.

Eveland was outrighted to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eveland was brought back onto the 40-man roster in early September, but after his struggles at the major league level continued, the Rays decided to relegate him to the minors once more. The left-hander will likely act as an organizational depth piece going forward.

Eveland's contract was purchased from Triple-A Durham after Sunday's 4-2 win over the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The well-traveled Eveland will join the big club for the first time since early July, when he was dropped from the 40-man roster. In order to clear a spot for Eveland again, the Rays designated reliever Tyler Sturdevant for assignment. Look for Eveland to work primarily as a lefty specialist over the final few weeks of the season.

Eveland cleared waivers and accepted an outright to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eveland passed through his waiver period unclaimed by another big league club and will now head to Triple-A Durham, where he had been the past several weeks. The 32-year-old has struggled with command in the majors this season, allowing 15 walks in 20 innings, contributing to his unsightly 8.55 ERA and 2.10 WHIP with the Rays this season.

Eveland was designated for assignment Wednesday, 620 WDAE's Steve Carney reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Dylan Floro, whose contract was selected from Triple-A on Wednesday, and Eveland was the victim. Eveland had a 8.55 ERA and walked 15 batters in 20 innings prior to getting designated for assignment.

Eveland's contract was selected by the Rays on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Closer Alex Colome landed on the disabled list with biceps tendinitis on Tuesday, so the Rays brought Eveland back to add another arm in the bullpen. Xavier Cedeno and Erasmo Ramirez will likely get the save opportunities while Colome is on the shelf, which negates Eveland's value in shallower formats. Eveland notched a 7.56 ERA in 21 appearances with the Rays earlier in the season.

Eveland cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eveland was DFA'd by the Rays last week after continued struggles on the mound. Through 16.2 big league innings, Eveland has allowed 13 walks while accumulating an ugly 7.56 ERA. The left-hander will look to get things turned around at Triple-A, a level at which he found great success in 2015, splitting time between the Red Sox, Orioles and Braves organizations.

Eveland was designated for assignment Wednesday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eveland surrendered a pair of runs in his last outing, as his ERA ballooned up to 7.56 to go along with 13 walks in 16.2 innings on the season. If he passes through waivers, the Rays will likely look to get the southpaw going once again at the Triple-A level. Outfielder Jaff Decker was promoted to the big leagues in a corresponding move.

Eveland surrendered two hits, two earned runs and a walk over 0.2 innings in Tuesday's 8-7 victory over the Mariners. He also struck out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw found himself thrust into the contest in the sixth inning after starter Jake Odorizzi was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Eveland was able to strike out Seth Smith with inherited runner Leonys Martin on second to end that frame, but surrendered consecutive singles to Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz to open the seventh, and then loaded the bases with a free pass to Kyle Seager. An Adam Lind sacrifice fly later, the 32-year-old was removed in favor of Ryan Garton, concluding his second consecutive outing with at least one earned run given up. Despited a five-game scoreless streak prior to the aforementioned pair of outings, Eveland's ERA sits at a bloated 7.56 following Tuesday, primarily due to a five-appearance stretch earlier in the season where he yielded seven earned runs over four innings.
