UPDATE, 1:30: Rays Snell is slated for only 2 innings or so today; he matched up with Bryce Harper in the 1st inning and struck him out looking at a 96 mph fastball to end the inning.
UPDATE, 12:04: Brandon Lowe took a ground ball off the face during BP but is fine and will stay in the lineup, the Rays say.
UPDATE, 11:58: Cash said no real updates on Pham (shoulder) or Duffy (hamstring). Pham still slated to DH on Tuesday in Dunedin, Duffy doing only "pretty minimal stuff,'' with Cash saying they don’t want to put a deadline on things but next Monday is probably a key date in determining if he can be ready for opening day. Cash said he remains optimistic. .. Among the minor leaguers on the trip today is Josh Lowe, the younger brother of Nate Lowe. Josh was the first round pick in 2016 and played last year at advanced Class A Charlotte.
