Hideki Matsui has decided to retire from baseball.
Matsui will make things official soon with a press conference in New York. The 38-year-old drew free agent interest this winter from a couple of big league teams but decided against returning for an 11th MLB season. He wound up batting .282/.360/.462 with 175 home runs and 176 RBI over 1,236 total games here in the states.

Daigo Fujiwara on Twitter
Astros general manager Jeff Lunhow told Daily Sports that the team has had internal discussions about adding Hideki Matsui as a potential DH.
Matsui appeared in 34 games with the Rays during the 2012 campaign, posting a horrifying .147/.214/.221 line with two homers and seven RBI in 95 at-bats before being DFA'd. The 38-year-old veteran hasn't stated publicly whether he intends on playing or not in 2013.

Rays released DH/OF Hideki Matsui.
Matsui was designated for assignment by the Rays last week after batting just .147 (14-for-95) with two homers and a .435 OPS in 34 games played. It's possible the 38-year-old could generate interest elsewhere, but there's a non-zero chance that he has played his final game in the big leagues.

Rays designated DH/OF Hideki Matsui for assignment.
He was cleared to make room for Ryan Roberts, who was acquired from the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Matsui really struggled during his time with the Rays, batting just .147 14-for-95) with two homers and a .435 OPS in 34 games played. This could be the end of the line for the 38-year-old.

Jose Molina

Jose Molina (hamstring) is not in the Rays' starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays.
Molina hasn't played since Saturday because of a tight left hamstring. It's not thought to be a serious injury.

Sidelined
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.

David Price
D.L.
Rays placed LHP David Price on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left triceps muscle.
Price suffered the injury Wednesday night in his start against the Red Sox. An MRI taken shortly after his exit showed no major damage and the Rays are optimistic that he will only miss a few turns in the rotation, but nothing is certain quite yet. Jake Odorizzi and Chris Archer are the primary candidates to replace Price.

Brandon Gomes
D.L.
Rays placed RHP Brandon Gomes on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 8, with a right lat strain.
Gomes had been pitching well for Tampa, putting up a 1.03 WHIP and 16/2 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. Josh Lueke has replaced him on the roster.

Jeff Niemann
D.L.
Rays transferred RHP Jeff Niemann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Jeff Beliveau. Niemann underwent shoulder surgery last week and is unlikely to return this season.

Juan Carlos Oviedo
D.L.
Rays purchased the contract of RHP Juan Carlos Oviedo, placed him on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury.
Oviedo is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and will miss most, if not all, of the 2013 season. The Rays obviously have decided he's worth hanging onto in hopes he can contribute in 2014.
