10/25/2007, OAKLAND -- The Oakland A's today announced that outfielder Chris Snelling was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The A's also sent right-handed pitcher Connor Robertson outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

He batted a combined .246 with one home run and seven RBI in 30 games with the A's and Nationals, including .350 with Oakland. Snelling was placed on the disabled list retroactive to May 11, his eighth career stint on the DL.

He was selected from Triple-A Sacramento on May 15 and went on the disabled list retroactive to May 22. Robertson was 4-1 with two saves, three blown saves and a 4.35 ERA in 31 relief appearances with the River Cats.
