Baldelli setback?
CF Rocco Baldelli was supposed to play centerfield for Class A Vero Beach tonight in the third game of his rehab assignment, but was not in the starting lineup. The Rays said his legs are sore, though the problem is not related to his hamstrings, and they are just being cautious. Baldelli, out since mid-May with a left hamstring strain, has been working to build up strength in his legs and altered his running style and is hoping to rejoin the Rays on or shortly after Sept. 1.

His legs are sore with 2 games of DH and another day off? And he didn't even get any hits, so it's not like he had to run out a triple.
