B.J. Upton delivered a game-winning double in the bottom of the 11th as the Rays edged the Blue Jays 6-5 on Wednesday.
Upton's double scored Rich Thompson, who reached via a HBP. Upton finished the game 3-for-6 with two doubles and a steal. He has 13 hits in his last seven games, raising his average from .247 to .300.
May 23 - 5:20 PM
B.J. Upton belted a solo homer in Monday's loss to the Blue Jays.
It was undeserved, as Upton hit a ball to center field that Colby Rasmus was camped under before it hit a catwalk in the ceiling. Umpire Joe West ruled that the ball hit a suspended object beyond the "B" catwalk, which is a home run in the Trop ground rules. Nevertheless, Upton's fantasy owners will take it. It was his third longball of the season.
May 21 - 11:07 PM
B.J. Upton went 2-for-3 with a double in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.
Upton improved his average to .262 on the season with an RBI single in the eighth. He now has five doubles, two home runs, and 13 RBI in 24 games, after missing earlier this month with a quadriceps injury.
May 17 - 11:38 PM
B.J. Upton went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI doubles, helping to lead the Rays to a 7-2 victory over the Athletics on Friday.
It was Upton's first game back in the lineup after sitting out two games with a quad injury, and he didn't miss a beat. Upton got the scoring started for the Rays with his first RBI double in the third inning, then added another in the fifth to increase their lead to 6-1. He's off to a strong start to the season, now hitting .350 with 10 RBI in his first 40 at-bats.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Desmond Jennings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
