Bartlett Scratched, Longoria To SS

Posted Jun 19, 2008 by Aaron Knox

Updated Jun 19, 2008 at 07:03 PM

Rays SS Jason Bartlett was a late scratch with a bruised left foot and 3B Evan Longoria was moved over to short. Bartlett fouled a ball off his foot in batting practice.

Longoria has been taking ground balls at short during BP to get ready for a start or two there when Bartlett’s baby arrives in the coming days. The Rays lineup now looks like this (changes in bold):

Iwamura, 2B
Crawford, LF
Upton, CF
Hinske, 1B
Longoria, SS
Floyd, DH
Aybar, 3B
Navarro, C
Gross, RF

Shields, P
