Francisco Cervelli is Not Playing on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (finger) is not in the starting lineup against the San Diego Padres on Friday. He jammed his finger while diving back into a base on Thursday.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The good news is that the Rays have not placed Hechavarria on the disabled list.
