Fantasy Points

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Jose Molina
	2	Jose Lobaton D.L. Jose Lobaton (shoulder) is likely a week away from being activated from the disabled list. Lobaton has been on the disabled list since mid-April with right shoulder soreness. The 27-year-old backstop is 2-for-18 (.111) over six rehab games with High-A Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery. Jose Molina and Chris Gimenez will continue to split catching duties for now. May 21
	3	Robinson Chirinos D.L. Rays transferred C Robinson Chirinos (concussion) to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Brandon Allen on the 40-man roster. Chirinos was concussed by a foul tip late in spring training. He won't be eligible to return until May 26, though it's possible he won't have a spot on the 25-man roster if the Rays end up liking what they see from Chris Gimenez. Apr 19
	4	Chris Gimenez
1B	1	Carlos Pena
	2	Brandon Allen D.L. Brandon Allen (quad) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday at Single-A. Allen was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Thursday after suffering a right quad strain. The 26-year-old is on track to be activated when first eligible. May 17
2B	1	Ben Zobrist
	2	Jeff Keppinger D.L. Rays manager Joe Maddon said Monday night that Jeff Keppinger (toe) will miss three to four weeks. Keppinger was placed on the disabled list Monday with a broken big right toe. Sean Rodriguez, Elliot Johnson and Will Rhymes should play pretty regularly in the Rays' infield for now. May 21
	3	Elliot Johnson
SS	1	Sean Rodriguez
3B	1	Evan Longoria D.L. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that Evan Longoria (hamstring) "might be ahead of schedule." The only other detail Topkin offered is that "an early return is still June." Longo has been pegged for a late June return, but perhaps he'll make it back a little sooner than that. He recently played catch and fielded ground balls on his knees, but the real test will come when he starts running again. May 20
	2	Will Rhymes
	3	Drew Sutton
LF	1	Desmond Jennings D.L. Rays manager Joe Maddon said Desmond Jennings (knee) had a "great day" of activity Tuesday but will "probably not" be ready for activation Sunday. An earlier report indicated that his activation over the weekend was expected, but apparently he won't quite be ready. It sounds like Jennings is coming along nicely and should be good to go early next week. May 22
	2	Sam Fuld D.L. Sam Fuld said the follow-up exam on his surgically-repaired right wrist went well and that he could begin swinging a bat in early June. Fuld is currently working his way back from April wrist surgery. Barring any setbacks, he could be ready to return at some point in August. May 23
CF	1	B.J. Upton
	2	Rich Thompson
RF	1	Matt Joyce
	2	Brandon Guyer D.L. Rays placed OF Brandon Guyer on the 15-day disabled list with a strained shoulder. Guyer first started experiencing the soreness over the weekend, and it wasn't going away, so the Rays decided to make a move. Rich Thompson has taken his spot on the roster. May 16
DH	1	Luke Scott
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	David Price
	2	James Shields
	3	Jeremy Hellickson
	4	Matt Moore
	5	Jeff Niemann D.L. Rays transferred RHP Jeff Niemann from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list. The Rays initially provided a 4-6 week timetable for Niemann, who suffered a fractured right fibula Monday, but he'll have to sit out at least two months now. The team has yet to announce who will replace him in the rotation, but it will either be Alex Cobb or Chris Archer. May 16
	6	Alex Cobb
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Kyle Farnsworth D.L. Rays transferred RHP Kyle Farnsworth from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Farnsworth is still making his way back from an early-April elbow strain. He's aiming to being throwing soon, but the right-hander won't be eligible to return until June 5. Fernando Rodney has a real opportunity to run away with ninth-inning duties. May 1
	2	Fernando Rodney
	3	Joel Peralta
	4	J.P. Howell
	5	Jake McGee
	6	Wade Davis
	7	Burke Badenhop
	8	Cesar Ramos
	9	Matt Bush Suspended A judge in Charlotte County, Florida has reduced Matt Bush's bail from $1.015 million to $440,000. The number is still probably out of Bush's price range, considering the reports that he had only $2,000 left in his bank account when he struck a 72-year-old motorcyclist in March while drunk. The former No. 1 overall pick is facing charges of DUI, hit-and-run and property damage. He's likely done with professional baseball for good. May 3
