Yunel Escobar smacked a two-run homer in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday.
It was his only hit in four at-bats. Escobar has been a disappointment for the Rays so far, but he's hitting .312 (15-for-49) with two home runs, five doubles and 10 RBI over his last 13 games. Still, he shouldn't be a consideration outside of AL-only leagues and deeper mixed formats.
May 20 - 4:32 PM
Yunel Escobar came off the bench Monday and made a huge error in the eighth inning in the loss to the Blue Jays.
Escobar didn't start because of his hand contusion, but he still made an impact when he booted a double-play ball in the eighth. It led to one run, and it helped turn the order around so that J.P. Arencibia could hit his go-ahead homer in the ninth.
May 6 - 10:51 PM
Yunel Escobar (hand contusion) is out of Monday's lineup against the Blue Jays, as expected.
Escobar is expected to be sidelined until "at least" Wednesday. The perennially disappointing shortstop is batting just .174/.237/.279 through his first 94 plate appearances. The Rays are mixing at matching at shortstop and second base in his absence.

Yunel Escobar is expected to be sidelined until at least Wednesday because of a left hand contusion.
Escobar was hit on the left hand by a Jon Garland pitch on Saturday. X-rays turned up negative, but the 30-year-old shortstop is fighting through some bruising. He is hitting just .174/.237/.279 in 25 games this season.

Sidelined
Matt Joyce is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Blue Jays.
Joyce left Tuesday's game with right hamstring tightness, so it's not a surprise that he's not ready to play for the afternoon game. However, it's not known how much time he'll need to miss. Sean Rodriguez is playing right field Wednesday.

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.
