Jake Woodford cut by Rays after poor outing in brief MLB return

Jake Woodford, recently signed by the Tampa Bay Rays, was cut from the roster after one game. In his debut, Woodford allowed three earned runs in 1.1 innings, resulting in a 20.25 ERA. Woodford's move to the Rays came after a disappointing season with the Cubs and Brewers, where he posted a 7.18 ERA over 26.1 innings. The Rays had secured a postseason spot, which allowed them to experiment with their pitching options. Woodford is now set to hit the waiver wire with only three days left in the season.
