Rays @ Jays: Radio Saturday broadcast moved to 970 AM

ROGER MOONEY
TORONTO For those who are going to listen to today’s game on radio, it has been moved up the dial to 970 AM.

Casey Kotchman was scratched from today’s lineup with flu-like symptoms, meaning Sean Rodriguez is now playing first base and Reid Brignac is in the lineup.

Johnny Damon gets the afternoon off because Joe Maddon wanted Ben Zobrist to serve as the designated hitter to give him an afternoon off his feet. Also, the day game following the night game is usually a time when Damon gets a breather.

Here are the lineups:

RAYS
Jennings LF
Fuld RF
Longoria 3B
Zobrist DH
Upton CF
Rodriguez 1B
Shoppach C
Johnson 2B
Brignac SS
—
Niemann (8-5, 3.41)

BLUE JAYS
Escobar SS
Thames LF
Bautista RF
Lind 1B
Encarnacion DH
Johnson 2B
Lawrie 3B
Arencibia C
Wise CF
—
Perez LHP (3-2, 3.26)
