Crawford out again ....

So the Devil Rays get some relief help and now their offense is shorthanded. All-Star LF Carl Crawford is not in the lineup again today as the result of a sore right wrist and - though he is available for pinch-running and late-inning defense - the Rays won't know until Monday evening if he can return to the lineup for the series opener with Toronto. The wrist is more sore when Crawford swings.

Without Crawford, the Rays will have an even tougher time with Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka today in a marquee matchup with Scott Kazmir. Ben Zobrist is expected to be here though. And with new reliever Dan Wheeler not expected to report until Monday and Grant Balfour and Al Reyes likely unavailable, the bullpen may be a little thin today too.

The lineup:

Iwamura, 3b
Harris, ss
Upton, cf
Pena, 1b
Young, rf
Gomes, lf
Norton, dh
Navarro, c
Wilson, 2b
Kazmir, p
