The Rays have designated prospect shortstop Hak-Ju Lee to make room on the 40-man roster for catcher Luke Maile. (Bill Chastain on MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Lee was one of the marquee players acquired in the Matt Garza deal back in 2011, but injuries have derailed what was once a very promising projection for the young shortstop from Korea. He'll surely latch on to another organization because of his amazing defense alone, but if the Rays have given up on a defense-first prospect, chances are he's not worth the gamble.
