Rays Links:

- Brandon Guyer gets hit by a lot of pitches, but doesn't wear too much protective padding at the plate...this may soon be changing.

- The Process Report reviewed the Rays past series with the Miami Marlins

- Kevin Kiermaier may be back sooner than expected as there's now a chance he could be activated right after the all-star break

#Rays Boxberger pitched 2/3 of an inning at Montgomery. 9 pitches/6K. 1 H. 1 SO. Should be last rehab outing.

Talked to Brent Honeywell, (DL, right arm tenderness). Said his arm feels good and that he's been throwing bullpens. Expects to return soon.

Around the League:

- The Diamondbacks made several splashy moves during the off-season, but so far they haven't payed off. If they could undo those moves, would they?

- "To be the man, you have to beat the man...and also snag a foul ball

- The biggest story in baseball yesterday was the debut of 19 year old Julio Urias...whose debut was quickly soured as he only lasted three innings

- One of the greatest professional softball players in history, Jennie Finch, will become the first woman to manage a professional baseball team
