Update, 1:45 The game is delayed by rain with the Pirates leading 2-0 after two innings.

Update 1:18 RHP Jeff Niemann was optioned to Triple-A Durham, making it even more clear the final spot is between Sonnanstine and Howell.
Niemann was understandably disappointed, but took solace in knowing he made a good impression with a solid spring, going 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA, with the idea that he could be back soon.
  "I think I've thrown the ball pretty well and hopefully I made a strong enough case and strong enough statement when I was out there that I'm definitely in their heads,'' Niemann said.

Update, 1:00 The Rays are going to announce their starting rotation sometime this afternoon, which reallys means it comes down to whether Andy Sonnanstine gets the fifth spot, as expected, or they give it to J.P. Howell, who is starting today. The battle for the last bullpen spot, between Grant Balfour and Scott Dohmann, could go into next week.
Manager Joe Maddon said the LHP Scott Kazmir continues to feel better, but still hasn't gotten back on the mound and there has been no date set for a return.

It's a slow-starting Saturday for the Rays coming off Friday's night game in Tampa, with just a light pre-game workout planned.

Neither CF B.J. Upton nor 3B Akinori Iwamura talked their way into the lineup, getting an extra day to rest their injuries. C Shawn Riggans is behind the plate, and Andy Cannizaro is back on the field at second base. The Rays appear to be looking at a few of the guys who could be under review as finals cuts are made.

The Rays lineup:
Johnson, cf
Brignac, ss
Guzman, 1b
Gomes, rf
Rodriguez, lf
Aybar, 3b
Difelice, DH
Riggans, c
Cannizaro, 2b
J.P. Howell, who seems more likely headed for a bullpen role, is starting.

For the Pirates
Morgan, cf
Jack Wilson, ss
Bay, DH
LaRoche, 1b
Nady, rf
Bautista, 3b
Paulino, c
Thompson, lf
Rivas, 2b
Duke, p
