Motter is expected to play multiple positions while with the Rays, freelance Tampa Bay writer Roger Mooney reports.
The versatile 26-year-old will be put to good use during his stint with the major league club in Logan Forsythe's (shoulder) time on the DL, according to manager Kevin Cash. His defensive proficiency in both the infield and outfield has been borne out over both his minor league career and particularly during 2016 spring training, when he manned six different positions. His offense has been lacking however, as he's only slashed .190/.228/.303 over 142 at-bats at Triple-A Durham, along with four homers and 10 RBI.
