The Cubs made a small deal with the Rays Tuesday, sending righties Adrian Sampson and Manny Rodríguez to the Rays in exchange for righty reliever Josh Roberson. Tampa will also receive some international bonus pool money in the trade. Sampson has not pitched in the majors this season after opening the season at Triple-A and then going to the IL as the result of a right meniscus injury. He was subsequently placed on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot and was activated and outrighted on July 24.
