UPDATE, 7:23: The Rays say they are planning to play Tuesday's game as scheduled but could reverse that decision if weather conditions change.

"We will continue to monitor the storm and its progress,'' team president Matt Silverman said at around 7 p.m. "We will continue to consult with government agencies as well as the Angels and the league. If the storm continues its current track and the road conditions are safe we will play the game as currently planned.''

If plans change, the Rays would hope to make a decison by early Tuesday afternoon, Silverman said. If the game were to be canceled, there likely would be a doubleheader on Wednesday.

UPDATE, 6:15 Rays officials are extending the time frame to make a decision on what to do about Tuesday's game, which could be an indication they are leaning toward trying to play. Team president Matt Silverman is expected to make an announcement around 6:45 or 7.

With reports indicating there may be less of a threat from Tropical Storm Fay, it would make sense for the Rays to say they are planning to play the game, and they could always amend the decision Tuesday morning if necessary.

If they don't play, the options are not necessarily attractive. They could play a doubleheader on Wednesday, which would tax their bullpen and already depleted lineup. Or they could play the game after the end of the regular season, if necessary, which would not be appealing. Both teams are off Sept. 1, but it would be a violation of union rules because the Angels would have to play 31 days in a row.

Rays officials haven't announced a decision yet about Tuesday's game, but they are preparing for Monday night's game - though they are allowed to report later than usual.

The Rays are using what is basically their current regular lineup, with Akinori Iwamura back at second base:
Iwamura, 2b
Upton, cf
Pena, 1b
Floyd, dh
Aybar, 3b
Hinske, lf
Navarro, c
Gross, rf
Bartlett, ss
Sonnanstine, p
