Noteworthiness
- Replacing one fractured player with another. The Rays placed David DeJesus on the 15-day DL with a left hand fracture. Brandon Guyer has been activated from the DL after recuperating from a fracture of his own. DeJesus was injured on a check swing in Wednesday’s game. Per Marc Topkin, DeJesus says he knew his hand was hurt, but didn’t expect it to be an avulsion fracture. He will be in a cast around three weeks.
- “We didn’t deserve to win. The only guy really that deserved to win was (Alex) Cobb. He threw the ball well and gave us a chance, and we didn’t reward him by doing very routine things the right way. We’ve got to do those things or we’re not going to win, simple as that.” — Evan Longoria, on yesterday’s loss in the series finale against the Orioles.
