Day of rest

Weary from spending most of the last month on the road, the Rays were happy to be home and have a much needed day off Monday. Though they missed a chance to finish the 10-game trip to Kansas City, Detroit and Philadelphia with a winning record, manager Joe Maddon said he was encouraged that the team was coming together and on the verge of a good run. Monday is something of a big day as top prospect Delmon Young returns from his 50-game suspension and one-time top prospect Josh Hamilton, who has been suspended for drug issues, is expected to get word if he can continue working out.
