He did take a high 801s slider to the kneecap yesterday.  I imagine he's a bit hobbled at the moment.

If he's hurting why is he playing?

Rest guys if they are hurt.  Stakes are low.

Zero reason to send guys out there that are banged up, not on April 10th.

I speculated yesterday he would get the day off.   Playing the 3rd straight day on a turf outfield, after being hit in the knee.

But I understand wanting to keep his bat in the lineup as opposed to McKenna's.  Santander is off to a very good start at the plate.

How many infield hits is that fir the Rays this series? Wow!

And add a few slow rollers that got through the ifnield on Opening Day.  

Even though our infield defense has looked pretty good... some nice plays, a bunch of DPs ... the fact is a TON of ground balls have not been converted to outs this weekend.

He's the DH, so turf not a factor.
