Brown signed a minor league deal with the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Brown also gets an invite to spring training after he played in three games for the Red Sox in 2014. He has an outside shot to make the Rays' roster this upcoming season, although the most likely case is that the 29-year-old ends up with Triple-A Durham.

Brown was designated for assignment Sunday.

Brown didn't do much in his time with the Red Sox, striking out in his only at-bat with the team. He will now have to decide whether to accept his assignment or look for an opening on another roster.

Brown will be called up to Boston for Tuesday night's game, according to a big league source, the Boston Herald reports.

The 28-year-old Brown is hitting .226/.294/.452 with 16 homers in 323 plate appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Red Sox signed OF Corey Brown to a minor league contract.

The 28-year-old outfielder receives an invitation to big league camp. Brown slashed .254/.326/.473 with 19 homers, 56 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 107 games at Triple-A Syracuse in 2013 and will provide organizational depth in the outfield for the Red Sox.

Corey Brown has elected free agency.

He had the option after being outrighted off his second 40-man roster in the last two months. Brown, 28, spent nearly all of last season at Triple-A with the Nationals, batting .254/.326/.473 with 19 homers and 12 steals.

Athletics sent OF Corey Brown outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

Brown had been designated for assignment last week, but he's cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. It was the second time since December that the 28-year-old was removed from a 40-man roster.

Athletics designated OF Corey Brown for assignment.

The move clears a spot for the addition of left-hander Eric O'Flaherty. Brown, 28, was just acquired from the Nationals last month for cash considerations. Now he could be on the move once again.

Athletics acquired OF Corey Brown from the Nationals for cash considerations.

Brown, 28, was taken by the Athletics in the first round (59th overall) in the 2007 draft. He went to the Nationals with reliever Henry Rodriguez in December 2010 in the Josh Willingham trade. Brown has hit at every level of his ascent through the minors but he repeated at Triple-A Syracuse in 2012-13. The Nationals had designated him for assignment to make room for Nate McLouth.

Nationals designated OF Corey Brown for assignment.

The move clears a spot for the newly-signed Nate McLouth on the 40-man roster. Brown, 28, appeared in 14 games with the Nationals this past season and was mostly organizational depth.

Nationals recalled OF Corey Brown from Triple-A Syracuse.

He and Eury Perez will join Scott Hairston as depth behind Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Jayson Werth down the stretch. Brown has a little pop and speed, but the 27-year-old doesn't figure to see the field enough to employ either to the degree that would justify a transaction in NL-only leagues.

Nationals optioned OF Corey Brown to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brown hit .288/.336/.414 this spring in the Grapefruit League but wasn't able to earn a 25-man roster spot. He'll function as organizational outfield depth this year.

Corey Brown hit a pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday, giving the Nationals a come-from-behind 7-6 victory over the Marlins.

The Nats trailed 6-5 entering the bottom of the ninth and then had to deal with a rain delay that lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours. When play eventually resumed, Jayson Werth blasted a game-tying solo homer off Heath Bell to force extra innings. The Nats started the home half of the 10th with two singles and an intentional walk to load the bases with no outs. After Kurt Suzuki hit into a fielder's choice, Brown batted for Drew Storen and came through with the critical RBI knock. He's hitting .222 (4-for-18) with a homer and three RBI in limited action this season.

Brown has appeared in nine games with the Nats this year, but has spent the majority of the season at Triple-A, batting .285/.365/.523 with 25 home runs, 71 RBI, 18 stolen bases and an .888 OPS in 126 games. He's unlikely to get enough playing time to be fantasy relevant.

Nationals optioned OF Corey Brown to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brown, a supplemental first-round pick of the A's in 2007 who was later involved in a trade for Josh Willingham, was jettisoned to make roster room for Chad Tracy. The 26-year-old has raked at Triple-A this season and we expect him to continue to do so until Washington summons him later summer.

Nationals recalled OF Corey Brown from Triple-A Syracuse.

Brown, a supplemental first-round pick of the A's in 2007 who was later involved in a trade for Josh Willingham, has only seven plate appearances in his major league career thus far. The 26-year-old has raked at Triple-A this season, posting a .944 OPS and 21 homers in 94 games. He'll act as a reserve outfield for the Nationals.

Brown was hitless in just three at-bats after being called up on Monday. He'll return to a .983 OPS at Triple-A Syracuse.

Brown will function as depth for the Nationals' bench while Chad Tracy recovers from a groin injury. The 26-year-old was on a roll at the Triple-A level but seems doubtful to carry much in the way of fantasy value.

The Nationals have summoned OF Corey Brown to their taxi squad.

He'll be promoted on Monday if Chad Tracy (groin) is placed on the disabled list. Brown, 26, has 12 home runs and a .983 OPS at Triple-A Syracuse. He figures to get most of his at-bats against right-handed pitching.

Non-roster outfielder Corey Brown had two hits and two RBI for the Nationals on Monday.

Brown is 7-for-17 with a homer this spring. The Nationals aren't giving him time in center, so it doesn't look like he's a candidate to be in the mix with Rick Ankiel and Roger Bernadina there. And since Brown, like those two, is a left-handed hitter, there probably won't be room on the bench for him, either. He's likely going to end up back in Triple-A.

Nationals sent OF Corey Brown outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

Brown was acquired from the A's last winter in the Josh Willingham deal. The 25-year-old outfielder batted .235/.326/.402 with 14 homers, 39 RBI and a .727 OPS over 462 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. He appeared in three games with the Nationals as a September call-up before undergoing surgery to have a staph infection removed from his right knee. It's expected that he will be 100 percent by spring training.
