Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quad) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old left Friday's contest early with some right quad tightness, so he'll get a day off on Saturday to get right. His status for Sunday's series finale is up in the air but he... Read More

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Raimel Tapia has had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham. The veteran outfielder will replace Brandon Lowe (knee), who is done for the season, on the active roster.
