The Tampa Bay Rays claimed outfielder Daniel Nava off waivers from the Boston Red Sox, according to reports Wednesday.

Nava was designated for assignment last week by the Red Sox.

Nava played in just 29 games for the Red Sox this season, hitting .152 with seven RBIs. He hit .303 in 134 games during Boston’s World Series-winning season in 2013. For his career, Nava is hitting .267, with a .357 on-base percentage, 23 home runs and 169 RBIs in 424 games.

The 32-year-old Nava can play first base, left field and right field.
