"His ankle's barking a little bit," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "I think he's been playing through a little bit of soreness. Yesterday, really crept in there to where it was probably smart to get him out of the ballgame.
"Hopefully, with some treatment today, he'll be available at some point. And then we'll see about [Sunday]. ... I think it was general soreness, not hurt [entering Friday's game]. And then yesterday, he did bother it, I think, in his third at-bat."
Cash added he thought Beckham's problem was short-term.
"He came in feeling better today," Cash said.
