Jose Caballero Scratched With Calf Tightness
5 months agoTampa Bay Rays middle infielder Jose Caballero (calf) was scratched from Sunday's starting lineup against the Atlanta Braves with left-calf tightness, but he's available off the bench. Caballero was removed from Friday's series opener in Atlanta with an illness and was also held out of action on Saturday. He was set to return on Father's Day but has now been scratched with a calf issue. It's definitely worth watching for a player whose game is based mostly on speed -- he leads the league with 22 swipes. Amed Rosario is taking over at shortstop and batting ninth against Braves rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep on Sunday. The Rays have a scheduled day off on Monday before starting a series on Tuesday in Minnesota against the Twins, so perhaps Caballero will be able to return for that contest. Make sure to remove Caballero from your lineups on Sunday.
