Not again!
Rays outfielder Colby Rasmus (hip) made his first rehab appearance of the season for the Charlotte Stone Crabs tonight. The Rays placed Rasmus on the 10-day DL prior to opening day.

The Rays were hopeful that Rasmus would return within a week or two of opening day. Peter Bourjos and Mallex Smith are splitting time in left field in Rasmus’ absence.
