Rays activated DH Luke Scott from the 15-day disabled list.

Scott has been out since the end of spring training with a strained calf. He is in the Rays' starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Royals and can be plugged into action immediately in AL-only fantasy leagues. The 34-year-old has fringe value in standard formats.

Luke Scott (calf) is on track to begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Charlotte.

Scott went through a range of drills on Sunday and told reporters afterward that he felt "ready to take the next step" in his rehabilitation from a right calf strain. He hasn't played in live games since March, so the Rays may ask him to spend over a week on the farm. The 34-year-old designated hitter should join Tampa Bay's starting lineup by the end of April.

Scott was placed on the disabled list Saturday with a right calf strain. The stint was backdated to March 24 so that Scott would be eligible to return April 8, but he is doubtful to be ready when that date rolls around. The Rays are expected to cycle in multiple players at DH.
