Featherston was traded to the Rays on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
The 27-year-old utility infielder hasn't shown much hitting ability during his stints in the big leagues, but he's shown an advanced eye at the plate this season, as evidenced by his career-best 13 percent walk rate. He has some swing-and-miss to his game, but Featherston's defensive versatility could be useful in a reserve role. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, Matt Duffy (heel) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
