SEATTLE -- Second baseman Logan Forsythe was available for duty Tuesday night, a day after getting hit on the back of his left shoulder, but he was not in the lineup and the Rays would prefer to not have to use him.
"He's still sore," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "... If we can figure out how to win a ballgame without him, that would be good, too."
Monday night, Felix Hernandez hit Forsythe on the left shoulder with two outs in the top of the third. At the end of the inning, he came out of the game before playing defense.
