ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Rays announced their Opening Day roster Saturday morning prior to the team's voluntary workout at Tropicana Field.
Here's who the Rays will have on their 25-man active roster when they play the Yankees on Sunday afternoon:
Nick Franklin was designated for assignment. In addition, Bourjos' contract was selected, so the Rays will have to create room on their 40-man roster for him. Recently optioned catchers Luke Maile and Curt Casali occupy spots on the 40-man, which in theory gives the team four catchers. That could prompt a trade of either Maile or Casali to create the opening for Bourjos.
