Raley (knee) will start in right field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Raley is back in action after he was on the bench for the Rays' previous two games with a bruised right knee. The fact that the Rays are deploying him in the outfield rather than at designated hitter suggests the team is comfortable with his health heading into a six-game week.

EDGE Analysis
Raley was forced out of the Rays' game Wednesday after fouling a ball off his right knee during the fourth inning, but luckily didn't suffer any severe damage. Tampa Bay has an off day Thursday which will give Raley extra time to heal, but it's possible he still misses a game or two.
