Rays @ Jays: S-Rod still sore, Jennings still active

TORONTO Desmond Jennings is still on the lineup card, listed as a reserve for tonight’s game with the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. We’ll learn more about is status when we meet with Joe Maddon at about 5:15.

Sean Rodriguez said the left side of his chest is “more sore” today than Sunday, but said he will play through the injury.

“It’s about pain tolerance,” he said.

Rodriguez said he strained his intercostal muscle diving for a ball during Saturday night’s game in Baltimore. He insists he wasn’t hurt Friday night when he crashed into Orioles catcher Matt Wieters.

Catcher Chris Gimenez makes his third straight start.

Here is the Rays lineup:

Zobrist RF
Upton CF
Joyce LF
Peña 1B
Scott DH
Rodriguez 3B
Rhymes 2B
Gimenez C
Johnson SS
