Rest for Navarro

Posted Aug 27, 2008 by Tribune Sports

Greetings from the Trop. Marc Lancaster is off today, and I’ll be reporting on the middle game of the Rays’ three-game series with the Blue Jays.

All-Star catcher Dioner Navarro is out for at least the start of tonight’s game. He suffered cramping in both hamstrings during a 6-2 loss to the Jays on Tuesday night and left in the sixth inning. An MRI on Wednesday showed no serious injury, and Navarro will be available for late-inning work if needed, manager Joe Maddon said. His status is day-to-day

With Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford on the disabled list and Navarro on the bench, the Rays don’t exactly get to go with their A lineup against lefty David Purcey. Here are both lineups:

BLUE JAYS
Inglett 2B
Scutaro 3B
Rios RF
Wells CF
Lind LF
Overbay 1B
Stairs DH
Barajas C
McDonald SS
(Purcey LHP)

RAYS
Iwamura 2B
Upton CF
Pena 1B
Baldelli DH
Aybar 3B
Zobrist LF
Riggans C
Ruggiano RF
Bartlett SS
(Garza RHP)
