Greetings from the Trop, where the Rays and Royals will serve as the warm-up act for Loverboy—unenthusiastically described by James Shields as “one of” his favorite ‘80s bands in a promo that can’t end soon enough.

Before we get there, though: Baseball.

Al Reyes threw about 30 pitches to Willy Aybar and Rocco Baldelli in a simulated game earlier and reviews were positive. No details yet, but the Rays are still targeting a post-All-Star break return for Reyes.

Ben Zobrist in there at short today, though Joe Maddon made it sound like he had no set plan for rotating Zobrist and Brignac beyond making sure the rookie got in there yesterday to get it over with.

One final note: Welcome to the newest member of the Rays family, Rocco Michael Costello, born this morning to Rays PR man Chris Costello and his wife Andrea. Congrats!
