For the first time since mid-March, the Rays are welcoming players to return to Tropicana Field for a voluntary individual workout on Monday.

The workout is the team’s first move toward getting members of the team back together in hopes of a potential return to the field over the next couple of weeks, though the workout will be a light one.

The players that show up for the workout will only be allowed to play catch, run on the field and perform other cardio exercises. Pitchers will not be allowed to throw off the mound and hitters won’t be permitted to hit in the batting cages.

It’s also likely that there will be some free weights available on the field, but there will be no access to the clubhouse or weight room, and only a set number of players will be able to participate at a time in order to comply with CDC guidelines.

Some coaches and members of the training staff will be in attendance, giving the players and coaches direct contact for the first time since the last workout in Port Charlotte on March 17. The workout is limited to players on the 40-man roster.

Players such as Brandon Lowe, Kevin Kiermaier, Willy Adames, Manuel Margot, Austin Meadows, Ryan Yarbrough and Tyler Glasnow have been working out in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area over the last few months. Charlie Morton also could decide to make the trip from his Sarasota home. It’s still unclear who will attend Monday’s workout, but the Rays are expecting some players to commit over the next couple of days.

The Rays still have some players that aren’t in the area, making them unlikely to attend any individual workouts until there’s official word on the start of the season. Ji-Man Choi and Yoshitomo Tsutsugo both decided to go to Korea and Japan, respectively, while Blake Snell is back in his Seattle home after spending eight weeks in St. Petersburg. Hunter Renfroe has been in Mississippi since the stoppage.

“Three weeks ago, we were probably about 75 percent, 80 percent local,” said Rays manager Kevin Cash last week. “I think that number has dropped a little bit. … [The players have] kind of taken the approach I can maybe get more stuff done and stay in shape a little bit wherever I go, and in a moment’s notice, they’re ready to get back here.”

Cash said that the staff has a plan in place for a potential ‘Spring Training 2.0’ scenario. The Rays' skipper mentioned that the attention will be on the pitchers, who generally take a few more weeks to get their bodies and arms ready for the start of a season.

“I know some pitchers throughout baseball have continued to throw bullpens, and that’s fine,” Cash said. “We feel that we will have ample time to get guys built up.”
