The Colorado Rockies have set a new bar for futility.
The Rays have selected the contract of right-hander Connor Seabold from Triple-A Durham, as first reported by Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. To open roster space, the Rays optioned righty Mason Englert to Durham and transferred infielder Ha-Seong Kim to the 60-day injured list.

The Colorado Rockies wrapped up a home series against the best team in the American League and now face one of the better clubs in the National League.
