This may be wrong -- I can't check right now -- but according to Baseball Press, Ben Zobrist is starting at short today.

Blue Jays Rays
1. Rajai Davis (R) LF 1. Sam Fuld (L) LF
2. Colby Rasmus (L) CF 2. B.J. Upton (R) CF
3. Edwin Encarnacion (R) 1B 3. Matt Joyce (L) RF
4. Yunel Escobar (R) SS 4. Evan Longoria (R) DH
5. David Cooper (L) DH 5. Ben Zobrist (S) SS
6. Moises Sierra (R) RF 6. Carlos Pena (L) 1B
7. Jeff Mathis (R) C 7. Jeff Keppinger (R) 3B
8. Omar Vizquel (S) 2B 8. Ryan Roberts (R) 2B
9. Adeiny Hechavarria (R) 3B 9. Jose Lobaton (S) C

I guess the Rays are getting desperate in their attempt to bump up Zobrist's trade value. /guffaw
