Noteworthiness
— Welcome back, Logan Morrison. The Tampa Bay Rays announced that LoMo has been activated from the 15-day DL. In doing so, RHP Dylan Floro has been optioned back to Triple-A Durham. Morrison, who bats sixth as the DH tonight, said he’s good with Brad Miller’s move to first base, and is willing to help Miller any way he can.
— We here at X-Rays Spex will be at the Trop in full force this upcoming Friday for the Baseball Forever Night at the Trop. By full force, I mean that a group of 13 tickets has been procured. If you’re still interested in attending the ballgame, single-seat tickets are still available at the Baseball Forever Night at the Trop website (linked).
— You can read about tonight’s pitching matchup, and so much more, at our series preview.
