Matt Joyce left Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays with right hamstring tightness.

The Rays are saying his removal was precautionary, so Joyce can safely be considered day-to-day. He figures to need at least a day or two of down time, though.

Hiroyuki Nakajima (hamstring) is expected to be added to the major league roster when his 20-day rehab window expires on Wednesday.

Nakajima is batting just .250 with a .313 on-base percentage at Triple-A Sacramento, but he's made strides defensively and has also showed he can play second and third base. His role with the big club figures to be limited.

Jemile Weeks has been playing some shortstop at Triple-A Sacramento.

Weeks offered to learn the position in hopes that it would give him a better chance to be called up. He's actually appeared in more games as a shortstop (14) than he has as a second baseman (12) for Sacramento, and River Cats manager Steve Scarsone has told Bob Melvin that Weeks is "very playable" at the position. Weeks is batting .285/.413/.376 with two homers and eight steals at Triple-A.

Kevin Youkilis (back) took three at-bats in an extended spring training game on Tuesday.

It was his first bit of game action since landing on the disabled list with a lumbar spine sprain. Youkilis' recovery has gone slower than expected, but he's finally made some strides. The Yankees haven't revealed a timetable for his return, but early June seems about right.

Alexi Ogando (biceps) has been playing catch but said he is only throwing around "40 percent."

"I don't know when they'll let me throw hard," the right-hander added. Ogando said that he's feeling better, so there's definitely some progress even if it might be coming slowly. There is no structural damage in Ogando's biceps, but it's unclear when he'll return.

Chris Narveson (finger) is scheduled to face live hitters on Friday.

It will come after another successful bullpen session on Tuesday. If Friday's session goes well, Narveson will begin a rehab assignment early next week. "The finger felt good. Just kind of taking it day by day and see how it goes Friday against hitters," Narveson said. "You’re just trying to prepare yourself and get your body ready to pitch again. I think you expect yourself to hit the ground running once you come back."

The Blue Jays are considering calling up pitching prospect Sean Nolin to start on Friday against the Orioles.

Chad Jenkins is probably still the favorite to get the ball, but he'll be available out of the bullpen over the next few days. Ranked by Baseball America before the season as the club's 19th-best prospect, Nolan holds a 1.17 ERA while striking out a batter per inning this year at Double-A New Hampshire. The 23-year-old has made just six starts above A-ball.
