Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Knight allowed three runs on four hits while striking out two over 2.1 frames in his only outing after being called up July 2. He will now either be claimed by another team or report to Triple-A Durham. The move was made to create an open spot on the 40-man roster for Pete Fairbanks (lat), who was reinstated off the 60-day injured list Sunday.
