Rays acquired LHP Wesley Wright from the Astros for future cash considerations. Wright will join the Rays' bullpen on Tuesday. The left-hander has posted a cool 3.56 ERA and 9.0 K/9 in 93 2/3 innings of relief since the start of the 2012 season and could be an asset for Tampa Bay down the stretch.

Wesley Wright holds a 2.95 ERA over 21 appearances. Wright broke out in 2012, putting up a 3.27 ERA while striking out over a batter per inning. Over his first three seasons, batters teed off to the tune of a 5.33 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 134 games. In the last three years, Wright has turned into a fine LOOGY, posting a 2.94 ERA and 8.4/2.9 K/BB/9 rate. Owners in deep AL-only formats should note that Wright's WHIP this year (1.53) sits right around where it did during the dark years of his career. He's walking fewer batters then he ever has, but has surrendered 23 hits over 18 1/3 frames.

Astros avoided arbitration with LHP Wesley Wright by agreeing to a one-year contract. The financials are not yet available. Wright had a breakout year in 2012, putting up a 3.27 ERA while striking out over a batter per inning. He'll be used as a lefty specialist again for the Astros in 2013.
