News
Rays third baseman Evan Longoria admitted Wednesday he was nervous he wouldn't make it through a full season because his legs felt tired at season's outset.

"I felt pretty bad after the first week of the season, like 10 games in. I was kind of scared," Longoria said, per the Tampa Bay Times. "Because in spring training, you probably don't play three-four games in a row at the most toward the end of spring. Once we got like a week, 10 days into the season, I was feeling like, man, my legs were tired. And thoughts started to creep in about how you're going to do it for 162 days."

The Rays made the decision to use Longoria as the DH in an April 10 game against Texas and the slugger said he has felt better ever since. The Rays continue to use Longoria at DH every now and then, and it seems to be the formula to ease the 27-year-old's mind and keep him fresh. Longoria extended his career-best hitting streak to 16 games Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

"I haven't felt that fatigue," he said. "I feel like my legs are getting stronger and feeling better as the season goes on. And with that worry behind me, I can be focused on other things."

News
Rays starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson didn't pick up the win Wednesday against the Blue Jays, but he tossed a season-high eight innings and felt encouraged after he allowed a season-high eight runs in his previous outing.

"My fastball command was probably the best it's been," he said, per the Tampa Bay Times. "I think if I can command that, everything else is a little bit better."

Triceps - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/16/13)
News
Rays manager Joe Maddon said starting pitcher David Price, who is on the disabled list with a triceps strain, is "feeling" and "doing better," according to the Tampa Bay Times.

While Price hasn't had any setbacks, it doesn't appear he will come off the disabled list when eligible May 31.

"He's probably at the backside of three starts, I would say, at least," Maddon said Wednesday. "We're going to be real careful with this one."

Maddon added Price is likely to get one minor-league rehab start before returning.

News
Rays infielder Kelly Johnson has been making more contact this season.

One of Johnson's biggest issues the past two years was his declining contact rate. Johnson made contact on about 71 percent of pitches over that time. He's increased his rate to 79.6 percent this season. 

Johnson has always shown decent power and speed numbers, even during his down years. With an increased contact rate, Johnson is hitting .274/.348/.492 in 124 at-bats. Fantasy owners should take note. As long as Johnson is making better contact, his resurgence should continue.

"There's no other options," Maddon said, per The Tampa Tribune.

Hamstring - Questionable for May 24 vs. N.Y. Yankees (Updated - 5/23/13)
News
Rays outfielder Matt Joyce, who was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays, said he's "feeling pretty good" after leaving Tuesday's game with hamstring tightness, according to The Tampa Bay Times. Joyce said he might be available to pinch-hit and expects to be back in the lineup Friday against the Yankees.
