Sometime between now and the first of June, the Tampa Bay Rays will activate Matt Duffy from the disabled list. The move will have a domino impact on the Rays roster and lineup as a position player will have to be removed from the 25-man roster. Not only will that move be made but also the Rays will probably shuffle their starting lineup. How this will all work out remains to be seen but it is time to look at possible moves and how they will affect the team.
Before Matt Duffy’s injury, he was to be the Rays starting shortstop and played 18 games at that position for the Rays in 2016.
