Rays of Light

Per Marc Lancaster…

oe Maddon said before the game he assumes Baldelli will make his way back to St. Pete sometime tomorrow to get checked out by the Rays’ medical staff, and he didn’t rule out Baldelli being activated as soon as tomorrow.

“I can’t say it’s impossible, but I have not discussed that specifically with Andrew [Friedman] for tomorrow,” said Maddon. “But I can’t say that it’s impossible.”

Baldelli would not be a full-time player for the Rays, so if he comes through tonight with no complaints, it’s conceivable that he could be deemed ready. The Rays could throw him straight into the fire against lefty Kenny Rogers, but that would seem to fly in the face of the cautious approach they have taken so far. Or, they could give him a couple more days to rest and mull their various options before making a move.

   Rocco with two walks in first two plate appearances with Montgomery tonight, and has had a couple of put outs in the outfield. Hear is to hoping he is the lineup tomorrow. I guess that will be the end of Gomes if the he is activated.
