BOSTON -- The Tampa Bay Rays acquired injured Canadian reliever Jesse Crain from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in an attempt to bolster their bullpen for the stretch run in the tough AL East. The White Sox will receive players to be named or cash for the Toronto-born right hander, who is 2-3 with a 1.15 ERA in 38 appearances. He was placed on the disabled list on July 3 with a right shoulder strain. "Jesse has been one of the top relievers in the American League, not only this season but also throughout his entire tenure with the White Sox," Chicago general manager Rick Hahn said. "We cannot say enough about what Jesse has meant to our bullpen, and the positive impact hes had on our young relievers. We certainly think he has the ability to influence this years pennant race very positively for the Rays." The deal was announced before the Rays faced the division-leading Red Sox in Boston on Monday night. Tampa Bay began the day just one-half game behind Boston in the AL East. Crain was expected to fly straight to Tampa Bay, where the Rays open a two-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. Hahn said Crains injury affected the market for him. The team considered waiting until he is healthy, which could be in a few weeks, and trying to get him through waivers. "The very, very high likelihood would be that he would be claimed off waivers," Hahn said. "So that obviously was not a very appealing alternative when compared with negotiating a deal now prior to the deadline, even with the complexities involved in trying to figure out whats fair compensation for a guy currently on the DL. If he had been healthy for the month of July and healthy right now, it probably would have been a very different dynamic." Chicago, which was in last place in the AL Central, had lost nine of 12 heading into Monday nights game against the Indians. "Obviously, we havent played up to expectations here," Crain told reporters in Cleveland. "So to get a chance to get healthy and pitch for a team thats (fighting for first place), theres nothing more I could ask for." Crain, 32, made the All-Star team for the first time this year but did not pitch because he was injured. He said Monday he wasnt surprised he was traded, but he is focused on trying to get healthy and help his new club. "I had an idea but you dont want to go all-in until you know for sure," he said. "Now that it is, Im excited." Crain is 45-30 with a 3.05 ERA in a 10-year career, the first seven with the Minnesota Twins. He signed with the White Sox as a free agent after the 2010 season. "Great teammates, great city, the organization has been amazing to me," Crain said. "Its a time Ill never forget. Im going to miss these guys." To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the Rays transferred pitcher Brandon Gomes (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list. Ashley Williams Jersey .

West Indies 315 for 6 (Bravo 87, Samuels 76, Wahab 2-53) trail Pakistan 579 for 3 dec (Azhar 302*, Aslam 90, Bishoo 2-125) by 264 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsHaving enjoyed the first two days of their 400th Test, piling on the runs on another Dubai featherbed, Pakistan were made to toil for their gains for much of the third day. Those gains came gradually in the first two sessions, before a hostile spell from Wahab Riaz after dinner helped Pakistan make quick inroads into West Indies middle order. Darren Bravos resolute 87 and Marlon Samuels attacking 76 led the resistance, but Pakistans bowlers were able to maintain control and ultimately leave West Indies on 315 for 6 by stumps, trailing by 264 runs.Starting the day on 14, Bravo was content to proceed at a stately pace, exhibiting patience, determination and a very solid defensive game. He brought up his fifty off 176 balls and showed no inclination to accelerate thereafter. His concern was in occupying the crease as long as possible. While he occasionally took his eye off the bouncer and edged a full-blooded cut shot past first slip off Yasir Shah, Bravos knock was largely chanceless. He provided a fine counterpoint to Samuels and was barely ruffled by the fall of wickets either side of the dinner break. It was only within half an hour of stumps that Bravos long vigil ended, when debutant Mohammad Nawaz had him caught at short-leg to claim his maiden Test wicket.Samuels, for his part, was not quite as convincing as Bravo, but played the dominant role in the pairs 113-run third-wicket partnership. Having announced his arrival with consecutive fours off Yasir, he continued to pepper the off-side boundary with excellent cuts and drives. He hit 13 fours in all, the best of which was probably an exquisitely timed on drive after skipping to the pitch of a ball from left-arm spinner Nawaz.But Samuels habit of staying leg side of the ball and his general lack of foot movement caused him occasional problems and ultimately led to his downfall. He had an early slice of luck when an outside edgee off Mohammad Amirs bowling fell short of Babar Azam at second slip.ddddddddddddIn the second session, he played a loose drive against Wahab, throwing his hands at the ball, and was lucky the edge did not carry to the wicketkeeper. Eventually Sohail Khan bowled an indipper that wrapped Samuels on the pads in front of middle; he was rooted in the crease and falling over. It was the first wicket by a fast bowler in the Test match.After the dinner break, bowling with the second new ball, Wahab cracked the game open for Pakistan with a venomous short-ball barrage. Jermaine Blackwood was given an intense working over, before he gloved an attempted pull to Sarfraz Ahmed behind the stumps. In Wahabs next over, Roston Chase fended a well-directed bouncer to Azam, who had just been moved to leg slip. West Indies were 266 for 5 at this stage and suddenly looked vulnerable once again. The late wicket of Bravo, just after West Indies brought up 300, capped off a good day for Pakistan.That said, they might have anticipated an easier day when Yasir dismissed Brathwaite in just the second over. He got a flighted delivery to drift into middle stump before turning away slightly to beat the outside edge and hit off stump. While it was a good ball, it was made to look even better by the batsman, who lunged forward and played down the wrong line.Thereafter, Samuels and Bravo frustrated the bowlers with their third-wicket stand for 43.3 overs. Pakistans concerns were exacerbated when Nawaz was warned twice for following through in the danger area shortly after tea. They grew even further in the next over when Samuels drilled the ball back at Azhar Ali, who took a blow to his right hand and had to go off for treatment.But Sohail broke the century stand, Wahab inflicted further damage after dinner, Azhar came back to take up his position at short leg and Nawaz went on to take a crucial late wicket. Pakistan ended up with most boxes ticked. ' ' '
