Ogando elected free agency Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ogando's decision to head to the open market doesn't come as a major surprise after the Rays booted him off their 40-man roster two weeks ago. The 28-year-old right-hander made his big-league debut with Tampa Bay in July and made three total appearances out of the bullpen, logging a 4.15 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 4.1 innings.

Ogando was designated for assignment by the Rays on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ogando was sent down by the Rays on Wednesday, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster a day later as part of a move after Easton McGee's contract was selected from Triple-A Durham on Thursday. If Ogando goes unclaimed on waivers, it seems likely that he'll remain in the organization.

Ogando was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ogando will return to Triple-A after having his contract selected Sept. 23, appearing in two games while in the majors. Over those contests, he tossed 2.1 innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one. The move was made to open a spot on the active roster for Tyler Glasnow (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
