Navarro's status uncertain

C Dioner Navarro's availability for Wednesday's game won''t be known until sometime this afternoon.

Navarro removed himself from Tuesday's game in the sixth inning due to cramping in both hamstrings.

Navarro was receiving extensive treatment after the game, and through team spokesman Chris Costello said: “I don’t know if I’ll be able to play (tonight). This is a day-to-day thing. I felt a little tightness and I’d rather come out before making it worse.’’

If Navarro were to miss more than a game or two, the Rays might need to add a backup, with veteran Mike DiFelice, who has been playing at Triple-A, the most likely. John Jaso would be another option.
