Noteworthiness
— Rays skipper Kevin Cash has Steven Souza Jr. hitting leadoff this evening. Logan Forsythe will get the night off, with Jake Elmore taking over at second, and Tim Beckham at short.
— Both Desmond Jennings, who is working his back from left knee surgery, and Asdrubal Cabrera took early batting practice and ran the bases this afternoon. Cabrera told Matt Baker (Tampa Bay Times) said he ran at 80% and feels fine. He hopes to be back “soon,” and is elligible to return this month.
— Looks like the Rays are working on one of their weaker suits:
Looks like #Rays are working on bunting before BP
