The Rays have chosen to part ways with Arencibia, the Tampa Bay Times' Mar Topkin reports.

The Rays have designated Arencibia for assignment, the Tampa Bay Times' Mar Topkin reports.

Analysis:

The team elected to hold onto Rene Rivera and presumably part ways with Arencibia as they shuffle their roster with the approach of the Rule 5 draft. If he is not picked up by another team Arencibia will start the 2016 season at Triple-A for the Rays.
