News
Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Moore (1-3) allowed four runs -- one earned -- and four hits in 4 1/3 innings during the Rays' 5-3 loss at Baltimore on Saturday night. Moore failed to complete five innings for the second game in a row as he finished with six strikeouts and four walks. The rookie left-hander now owns a pedestrian 34-to-22 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 39 innings this season. "He wasn't sharp with his command, but we cost him 20 pitches that would have allowed him to get deeper into the game," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said.

News
Tampa Bay catcher Jose Lobaton went hitless in two at-bats with a walk during the first game of a rehab assignment with Class A Charlotte on Saturday night. Lobaton, who is on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, started behind the plate before being replaced in the sixth inning.

Injuries
Foot - 15-day DL. Out until at least late June (Updated - 5/15/12)
News
Tampa Bay starting pitcher Jeff Niemann was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, a day after he suffered a fractured fibula. Rays manager Joe Maddon estimated he will be sidelined at least four to six weeks, perhaps longer. Niemann was injured when he was struck on the lower leg by a grounder during the first inning of Monday's game at Toronto. The right-hander recovered to make the out but walked gingerly around the mound and was checked by the trainer before finishing the inning. Niemann warmed up for the second but was unable to continue. "It's a tough break, literally," Maddon said. "The ball was not hit that sharply so I thought it just be like a stinger and he'd be able to walk it off."

Tampa Bay first baseman Carlos Pena snapped another long funk at the plate on Sunday in Baltimore. Pena went 2 for 5 in the game as he doubled twice for the Rays. He drove in two runs in the game and scored for the Rays. Pena is batting .232 for the season.

News
Rays manager Joe Maddon told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday that Wade Davis will likely not replace Jeff Niemann in the rotation. Niemann suffered a fractured fibula Monday and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Chris Archer or Alex Cobb are expected to be recalled from Triple-A Durham to replace Niemann. "Part of it is I really like where he's at in the bullpen,'' Maddon said. "I think he's doing a great job and he's getting to the point where he and and his body are understanding it better, and his arm - to come back a little quicker, what it takes to get ready. I like him. I'm not afraid of him in a hot moment because he's been there before. He comes out there with the real slow pulse working, he's understanding what's going on, he gets a rigthy and a lefty out, he knows how to control the running game, he's a good fielder. He does a lot of things well. Plus, you're starting to see the 93-94(-mph fastball) again.''

News
The Tampa Bay Rays made it official on Monday night as they placed outfielder Desmond Jennings on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with his knee injury.

News
Rays pitcher David Price made his fifth quality start of the season on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays. He allowed three runs on six hits over seven innings of work in the 4-3 win. The left-hander gave up all of his damage in the third when after giving up an RBI single to Jose Bautista, he surrendered a two-run homer to Edwin Encarnacion. He was done after throwing 112 pitches, 69 for strikes. Price also struck out six with no walks while earning his sixth win of the season.

News
Tampa Bay shortstop Elliot Johnson played a big role in the Rays beating the Orioles in Baltimore on Sunday. Johnson gave Tampa an insurance run in the eighth inning with a solo home run off Troy Patton for his second HR of the year. Johnson went 3 for 4 in the game and added two singles as he scored three times for the Rays. Johnson drove in two runs in the game and is batting .264 on the season.

News
Tampa Bay super utility player Ben Zobrist had a big game on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore to help the Rays avoid the sweep. Zobrist hit a two-run double to deep center field in the second inning, and added an insurance run in the eighth on a solo homer. Zobrist led off for the Rays as he went 3 for 4 with a walk and three RBI. Zobrist hit his fifth home run of the season and scored twice. He's batting just .217 for the Rays.

News
Tampa Bay starter James Shields certainly wasn't at his best on Sunday of Mother's Day in Baltimore. That said, Shields gave the Rays a gritty effort that helped them stop a losing streak and avoid being swept by the Orioles in the three-game series. Pitching without his best stuff, Shields managed to throw 104 pitches to go 6 1/3 innings in the win. Orioles starter Jake Arrieta gave up seven earned runs over the first four innings and Shields was able to hold on to that lead -- although that was questionable at one point. Shields left in the seventh inning just before Nick Markakis made things interesting with a two-run double. Shields, who also allowed a two-run homer to Matt Wieters in the sixth inning, gave up six runs -- four earned -- on seven hits and two walks over his 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five and his ERA is now at 3.52 on the year.

News
Rays infielder Sean Rodriguez returned to the starting lineup at third base Monday against the Blue Jays after sitting out a start Sunday because of chest soreness. Rodriguez did eventually make it into the lineup Sunday and played a few innings at third base. Rodriguez said Monday that the left side of his chest is "more sore" than it was Sunday, but he is going to push through the injury. “It’s about pain tolerance,” he said. Rodriguez showed his tolerance by going 2 for 4 at the plate with a double and two RBI Monday. He's batting .238 on the year.

News
Rays reliever Fernando Rodney entered Tuesday's series finale against the Blue Jays in the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He needed just 10 pitches to retire the side in order and secure the 4-3 win. Rodney also struck out two while collecting his 11th save of the season.
