  • Not starting against Toronto
    Siri is not in the lineup for Friday's outing against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Though it appeared the 28-year-old was starting to regain the starting spot at center field, it appears the team will continue to test Jonny DeLuca in the outfield in place of him. Siri has started in five of the last seven matchups for Tampa Bay, but he's struggled to get his bat going this season with a slash line of .174/.264/.294 and 49 strikeouts, and he's seen his playing time go down since the start of the season.

  • Gets break Friday
    Caballero is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero has started in the majority of games for Tampa Bay at shortstop this season, but he will get a break as the Rays kick off their series with Toronto. The 27-year-old has started all but five of the team's 45 games this season, slashing .252/.309/.360 with 17 stolen bases and 13 RBI. Amed Rosario will get the start in place of Caballero at shortstop and bat seventh against the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

    Garver (back) is batting third and is the designated hitter for Friday's game against Baltimore.
