Rocco's return?
CF Rocco Baldelli said the swelling in his bruised right knee had gone done, but his chances of returning to the lineup on Sunday don't sound good. Manager Joe Maddon said he would let Baldelli state his case on Sunday morning, but was already talking about how Baldelli could have the benefit of Monday's off-day and return on Tuesday.
The other bit of interesting pre-game news was that RHP Shawn Camp had worked his way back into the mix for important late-inning relief duty and was likely to share that role with Brian Stokes.

Fossum has been a mediocre pitcher for several years now, but with an ERA nearing 9 he has reached cartoonish levels of ineptitude. His trade value has got to be approaching zero, especially after surgery. What to do? Kazmir, Shields, Seo, and Jackson are all more naturally talented. Again (and I'm not alone in this opinion), the five-man rotation is a luxury the Rays cannot afford.
