Rock shone this spring—four scoreless innings with four strikeouts—but was never a real Opening Day contender, pegged instead for the Triple-A Durham rotation to start 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues might keep him on the radar; his arm’s got promise for a future call-up.

The Rays have selected the contract of Joe Rock.

Rock will now join the 40-man roster and be protected from the Rule 5 Draft. He is expected to begin the season in Triple-A, but he could compete for a depth spot in the rotation during spring training.
