Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times tweets that the Tampa Bay Rays have signed left-handed pitcher Brian Shouse to a Minor League deal. Topkin adds that Shouse will rehabilitate his knee sprain with the Gulf Coast League Rays, a rookie-level team in Port Charlotte, Florida.

Shouse, 41, played with the Rays in 2009 where he went 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 45 appearances.
