The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired minor league infielder Tristan Gray from the Chicago White Sox for cash and designated utilityman Coco Montes for assignment.

Short of reliable depth around the infield with Brandon Lowe and Ha-Seong Kim injured, the Rays turned to a familiar face Saturday in reacquiring Tristan Gray. The 29-year-old left-handed swinger spent six years in the Rays minor-league system before making his major-league debut in September 2023.

The prized rookie shortstop hit a three-run homer to tie the game and later broke it open with a two-run double.
