Rays pick up outfield depth in minor trade with White Sox

The Tampa Bay Rays have bolstered their outfield depth, acquiring speedy Peter Bourjos from the Chicago White Sox for cash or a player to be named,

The deal potentially provides the Rays with a right-handed hitting backup for Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier.

Bourjos hit .251 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 123 games with the Philadelphia Phillies last season.

He signed a minor league contract with the White Sox on Jan. 30 and batted .313 in 19 spring training games. Las Vegas Review-Journal wire services
