ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays placed Victor Mesa Jr. on the 10-day injured list Wednesday afternoon due to a strained left hamstring, as expected, but they didn’t replace him with another outfielder.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays’ rotation was nearly made whole on Monday night, as left-hander Shane McClanahan was activated off the injured list and pitched 3 1/3 innings to start Tampa Bay's 7-6 win over the Orioles at Tropicana Field. As much as anything he did on the mound, the
