03/28/2008, ANAHEIM -- The Los Angeles Angels on Friday announced outfielder Nathan Haynes has been claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Rays in an announcement made by club General Manager Tony Reagins.
Nathan Haynes, 28, batted .265 (9/34) with six runs scored, a double, triple and four RBI in 19 Spring Training games. He registered a .267 average (12/45) with 10 runs scored, a triple and RBI in 40 games for the Angels in his 2007 rookie season. Haynes made his major league debut, May 28, 2007 vs. Seattle.
Originally selected by Oakland in the first round (32nd overall) of the 1997 free agent draft, Haynes had two stints in the Angels' organization (1999-2003 & 2006-2007). He was acquired by the Angels from Oakland with outfielder Jeff DaVanon and pitcher Elvin Nina in exchange for pitcher Omar Olivares and infielder Randy Velarde, July 29, 1999 and also signed with the Angels as a free agent, June 22, 2006.
This transaction places the Angels 40-man roster at 38 players.
