Updated: Rays OF-DH Luke Scott (right calf strain) expressed hope of starting his rehab assignment this weekend, but Maddon said Scott is not that close to being ready. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_04_18_09_18_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-178921.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_04_18_09_18_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-178921.html Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:18:33 EST Matt Joyce said he had "a little whiplash" after Tuesday's unsuccessful dive for a ball and was sore, but is fine to play Wednesday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_04_10_12_48_pm__Rays_Matt_Joyce_LF-177124.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_04_10_12_48_pm__Rays_Matt_Joyce_LF-177124.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:48:33 EST Rays manager Joe Maddon says OF Sam Fuld (hamstring) is progressing and should return the middle of next week. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_10_41_am__Rays_Sam_Fuld_OF-172480.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_16_10_41_am__Rays_Sam_Fuld_OF-172480.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:41:33 EST Tim Beckham was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_06_08_pm__Rays_Tim_Beckham_SS-172360.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_06_08_pm__Rays_Tim_Beckham_SS-172360.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:08:33 EST Robinson Chirinos was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_06_03_pm__Rays_Robinson_Chirinos_C-172358.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_06_03_pm__Rays_Robinson_Chirinos_C-172358.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:03:33 EST Hak-Ju Lee was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_05_33_pm__Rays_Hak_Ju_Lee_SS-172356.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_05_33_pm__Rays_Hak_Ju_Lee_SS-172356.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:33:33 EST Sam Fuld continues to step up his activity but might not return from right hamstring tightness until next week; he has been out since March 3. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_02_30_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld_LF-172297.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_02_30_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld_LF-172297.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:30:33 EST RHP Jeff Niemann threw the ball relatively well in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Orioles. But he didn't throw it hard, clocked mostly at 85-86 mph and topping out an 88, below his normal velocity. Rays manager Joe Maddon said there is no concern that Niemann, who was shut down at the end of last season because of shoulder inflammation, was injured: "He was not wincing. There were no issues." http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_02_29_pm__Rays_Jeff_Niemann_P-172296.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_15_02_29_pm__Rays_Jeff_Niemann_P-172296.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:29:33 EST Ryan Roberts has been making a concerted effort this spring to hit the ball back through the middle. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_07_43_pm__Rays_Ryan_Roberts_3B-172181.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_07_43_pm__Rays_Ryan_Roberts_3B-172181.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:43:33 EST Rays' right-handers Jeff Niemann and Roberto Hernandez are the finalists for the 5 spot in the rotation. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_10_08_am__Rays_Jeff_Niemann_P-171824.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_10_08_am__Rays_Jeff_Niemann_P-171824.html Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:08:33 EST It's not exactly a surprise, but manager Joe Maddon officially named the Rays opening day starter. Price, who won the AL Cy Young Award last season, was the obvious choice. This will be Price's second Opening Day start and he will face the Orioles on April 2 at the Trop. Maddon said they were close, but not quite ready, to name the starters for the next few games, but it would not necessarily be a matter of alternating lefties and righties but how the rotation will impact the bullpen. The speculation was that Jeremy Hellickson, a righty, would start game 2 and Matt Moore, a lefty, Game 3, followed by Alex Cobb and the fifth starter. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_02_02_pm__Rays_David_Price_P-171594.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_02_02_pm__Rays_David_Price_P-171594.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 14:02:33 EST Rays have optioned pitchers Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi, and Alex Torres to Triple-A Durham. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_01_57_pm__Rays_Jake_Odorizzi_P-171592.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_01_57_pm__Rays_Jake_Odorizzi_P-171592.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:57:33 EST Rays' pitchers Matt Buschmann, Marquis Fleming and Adam Liberatore were reassigned to the minor-league camp. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_49_pm__Rays_Adam_Liberatore_P-171439.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_49_pm__Rays_Adam_Liberatore_P-171439.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:49:33 EST Rays' pitcher Felipe Rivero was optioned to Class A Charlotte. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_48_pm__Rays_Felipe_Rivero_P-171438.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_48_pm__Rays_Felipe_Rivero_P-171438.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:48:33 EST Rays' pitcher Enny Romero was sent to Double-A Montgomery. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_47_pm__Rays_Enny_Romero_P-171437.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_47_pm__Rays_Enny_Romero_P-171437.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:47:33 EST Rays' pitchers Alex Colome, Frank De Los Santos and Mike Montgomery were optioned to Triple-A Durham. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_43_pm__Rays_Mike_Montgomery_P-171435.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_43_pm__Rays_Mike_Montgomery_P-171435.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:43:33 EST Alex Torres has rejoined the Rays after pitching for Venezuela in the WBC. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_23_pm__Rays_Alex_Torres_P-171429.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_06_23_pm__Rays_Alex_Torres_P-171429.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:23:33 EST Sam Fuld could return to the lineup this weekend, but either way thinks there’s more than enough time to be ready by the opener. He’s hitting this week against live batting practice, which will help him in getting up to speed. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_05_41_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld_OF-171414.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_05_41_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld_OF-171414.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:41:33 EST Luke Scott (hamstring) has returned to the Rays lineup Monday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_03_09_pm__Rays_Luke_Scott_1B-171370.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_03_09_pm__Rays_Luke_Scott_1B-171370.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:09:33 EST Desmond Jennings (ankle) is back in the lineup for the Rays on Monday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_02_49_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171365.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_02_49_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171365.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:49:33 EST Desmond Jennings took a what's-all-the-fuss-about stance as he stood at his locker Sunday morning and discussed his left ankle. Jennings rolled his ankle in the third inning of Saturday's Rays-Phillies contest in Clearwater and left the game with what the Rays called a mild sprain. "I rounded second and wasn't looking at the bag, was looking at the outfielder and the runner trying to see what my next move was going to be," Jennings said. "Just hit the inside of the bag wrong. Rolled over my ankle, no big deal." Jennings conceded that rolling an ankle is always a scary experience, but added, "It wasn't that bad." http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_05_05_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171214.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_05_05_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171214.html Sun, 10 Mar 2013 17:05:33 EST Luke Scott (left hamstring) has been doing well and is expected to play Monday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_11_32_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-171159.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_11_32_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-171159.html Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:32:33 EST Tim Beckham sustained a laceration under his right eye from a thrown ball Friday requiring stitches, will be held out indefinitely. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_09_29_am__Rays_Tim_Beckham_INF-171146.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_10_09_29_am__Rays_Tim_Beckham_INF-171146.html Sun, 10 Mar 2013 09:29:33 EST Sam Fuld has been bothered recently by tightness in his right hamstring but said he is not "overly concerned" about the injury. He expects to return to the lineup by the end of next week. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_11_23_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld__LF-171118.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_11_23_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld__LF-171118.html Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:23:33 EST Desmond Jennings left Saturday's Grapefruit League game with an ankle injury. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_03_52_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171041.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_09_03_52_pm__Rays_Desmond_Jennings_LF-171041.html Sat, 09 Mar 2013 15:52:33 EST Desmond Jennings out of game for Rays in bottom of the fourth.

He went 1-for-2 in Sunday's game, but didn't make the trip to Fort Myers on Monday to play the Red Sox or on Tuesday to face the Twins. It's not expected to be a long-term issue. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_03_05_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld__LF-170384.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_03_05_pm__Rays_Sam_Fuld__LF-170384.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:05:33 EST Luke Scott continued to show improvement on his left hamstring, though he did not make the trip to Fort Myers for Tuesday's game against the Twins. Scott came out of Sunday's game with tightness in his hamstring after running following his lone at-bat in the game. He continued to receive treatment on Tuesday morning, and manager Joe Maddon reported that it appeared the designated hitter was on the mend. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_03_04_pm__Rays_Luke_Scott_LF-170383.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_03_04_pm__Rays_Luke_Scott_LF-170383.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:04:33 EST Rays DH Luke Scott (tight left hamstring) rode bike and ran on the treadmill Tuesday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_11_03_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-170339.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_11_03_am__Rays_Luke_Scott_DH-170339.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:03:33 EST Rays Luke Scott said his hamstring no longer feels tight.

Longoria said he isn't sure when he will begin playing in spring training games, but he will be ready by opener. Longoria said he will be open to taking days off during the season as a preventive measure. "If it keeps me on the field, I'll do it," he said. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_12_02_48_pm__Rays_Evan_Longoria_3B-167767.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_12_02_48_pm__Rays_Evan_Longoria_3B-167767.html Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:48:33 EST Evan Longoria (hamstring) said there is no timetable for when he plays in a spring game, but he'll be ready for season opener. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_12_10_03_am__Rays_Evan_Longoria_3B-167736.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_12_10_03_am__Rays_Evan_Longoria_3B-167736.html Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:03:33 EST Rays RHP Dane De La Rosa clears waivers, outrighted to Triple-A Durham. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_11_05_58_pm__Rays_Dane_De_La_Rosa_P-167672.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_11_05_58_pm__Rays_Dane_De_La_Rosa_P-167672.html Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:58:33 EST
