Rays' Jennings could be back as soon as Wednesday

Found May 09, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily:
PLAYERS: BJ Upton,  Evan Longoria
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Rays,  New York Yankees
The Tampa Bay Rays have already had the depth of their lineup severely tested, playing without center fielder B.J. Upton the first two weeks of the season and losing third baseman Evan Longoria for two months. Thus, they felt relieved with word that the knee injury sustained by left fielder Desmond Jennings was minor and should only sideline him a few days. Jennings sustained what the team described as a left knee sprain, and he was confident he would not need a trip to the disabled list. "I don't think it's that bad," he said. Jennings was fitted for a brace and resumed some activities Tuesday, including running on a treadmill. He said it was possible he could return to action by Wednesday.

With series at stake, Rays show fortitude

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  May 10, 2012
Considering how the Tampa Bay Rays were tumbling lately, it was only fitting that Matt Joyce took a dramatic spill Wednesday night while lifting his team out of its tailspin. His three-run blast in the top of the ninth at Yankee Stadium was one of the more unusual game-winners in recent memory. The clutch rip into the right field seats off New York closer David Robertson left Joyce...

While Maddon said he'd rather face a healthy Rivera than see him hurt, he paid a compliment to Rivera's main successor for the season, David Robertson, before Tuesday's game...
