Orioles-Rays lineups in series finale (REVISED); Scott likely out a couple of games

ORIOLES
Brian Roberts, 2B
Nick Markakis, RF
Derrek Lee, 1B
Vladimir Guerrero, DH
Matt Wieters, C
Adam Jones, CF
Mark Reynolds, 3B
Felix Pie, LF
J.J. Hardy, SS
Zach Britton, SP

The Rays have made a couple of changes this morning. Johnny Damon was a late scratch with calf soreness and third baseman Evan Longoria is headed to the disabled list with an oblique injury. Below is their updated lineup:

RAYS
B.J. Upton, CF
Elliot Johnson, SS
Ben Zobrist, 2B
Manny Ramirez, DH
Kelly Shoppach, C
Sean Rodriguez, 3B
Dan Johnson, 1B
Matt Joyce, RF
Sam Fuld, LF
Wade Davis, SP

I'm sure you've noticed that Luke Scott is not in the Orioles' lineup. That will likely be the case until at least Wednesday. Scott is dealing with some tightness in his right groin that started about four or five days ago. He felt it while trying to beat out a double play last night. Scott does not believe it is a disabled list situation.

I would have projected Jake Fox to catch, since it is a day game following a night game.

Jeff Z's reply: He may have had Britton not been starting. They like WIeters' influence on young starters.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer.
