Odorizzi was released by the Rays on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Odorizzi signed a minor-league deal with the Rays in March after missing all of the 2023 season while recovering from shoulder surgery. He made two starts with Triple-A Durham but was rocked for seven runs with a 2:5 K:BB over 5.1 frames, although Odorizzi contends that he was affected by a hamstring injury. The Rays aren't exactly flush with rotation depth right now, so it speaks to how far away Odorizzi is from being major-league ready that the team cut him loose. Odorizzi -- who turns 35 later this month -- will seek to sign on with another organization after his hamstring heals.
