The Tampa Bay Rays received some devastating news earlier in the week when they learned that star third basemen Evan Longoria will miss at least 4-8 weeks with a partially torn hamstring. The team recently signed veteran outfielder/designated hitter Hideki Matsui to a minor league deal, and while Matsui will not be plugged in at third base, he will likely be called up to fill a much needed hole in the Tampa Bay lineup. Longoria was hitting .329 on the season so far, including four home runs and 19 runs batted in. Matsui hit .251 with 12 home runs and 72 RBI's last season with the Oakland Athletics.

As many expected coming into the season, the Tampa Bay Rays have played strong baseball in the month of April, and with an 11-7 record find themselves tied with the Baltimore Orioles for first place in the American League East. B.J. Upton returned to the lineup this week after beginning the season on the disabled list and did not waste any time making an impact - through 14 at-bats, Upton has already hit a home run and driven in six runs. Evan Longoria continues to lead the offense with a .328 batting average, while Carlos Pena's four home runs has him tied for the team lead with Luke Scott and Desmond Jennings.

After some late season heroics landed them the final wild card spot in the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays got off to another strong start by sweeping the New York Yankees in the first series of the season. Returning to the Rays after spending a season with the Chicago Cubs, Carlos Pena began his season by sending a C.C. Sabathia slider into the stands for a grand slam in his first at bat. He added another later in the series and has two home runs and seven RBI's already on the short season. Evan Longoria has also got off to a torrid start, posting a .538 batting average through his first four games.
