Update, 5:20 p.m. Iwamura is not in the lineup for no other reason than simply gettting a day off, manager Joe Maddon said. The news of the afternoon is that RHP Matt Garza threw a bullpen session and said his right arm felt great. Garza has been sidelined since leaving the April 8 home opener with radial nerve irritation, but diagnosis by Dr. Koco Eaton, treatment from the Rays athletic trainers and a shot of cortisone have him feeling much better. So much so, he doesn't think he'd need to make a minor-league rehab start and could be ready to rejoin the rotation on or shortly after April 24, when he is eligible to return.

C Dioner Navarro (cuts on fingers on right hand) continues to progress as well and will accompany LHP Scott Kazmir to Class A Vero Beach and catch his Friday start, then stay with the Devil Rays - yes, they are still called that - for a few days to DH. Navarro is eligible to be activated Sunday but may need a few more days. He does have some discomfort when swinging from the left side of the plate.

These two-game series always feel weird, though certainly more weird for the visiting team. The Yankees got to their St. Petersburg hotel around 6 a.m. Monday, played Monday night, then got up Tuesday and checked out before heading over to the Trop for Tuesday night's game then are flying home.
The Rays don't have Akinori Iwamura in the lineup, giving him his first day off against Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte. Elliot Johnson is at second.
