Noteworthiness
― Major League Baseball handed Rays 1B James Loney a one game suspension, and fined an undisclosed amount for making contact with umpire Paul Nauert following an ejection from Saturday’s game. The suspension was expected to start tonight, however, he has opted to appeal so it won’t be served until after a hearing.
― The Rays begin the game at .500 for the 19th time this season, which, not surprisingly, is a team record.
― Jake McGee (knee) told Roger Mooney (Tampa Tribune) that he will begin throwing next week and, if rehab goes well, could return for the final homestand.
