Matt Joyce is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

Joyce left Tuesday's game with right hamstring tightness, so it's not a surprise that he's not ready to play for the afternoon game. However, it's not known how much time he'll need to miss. Sean Rodriguez is playing right field Wednesday.

Matt Joyce finished 3-for-5 with a homer and five RBI in Saturday's 10-6 victory over the Orioles.

Joyce cranked a two-run homer in the top of the third inning and then drove in another two runs with a double as the Rays staged an impressive comeback in the top of the ninth. The 28-year-old remains a fringe outfielder in standard mixed fantasy leagues.

Matt Joyce launched his second home run of the season in the Rays' win over the A's on Saturday.

Joyce hit a solo shot off Oakland starter Jarrod Parker in the bottom of the second inning. It was the only run scored by either side in the game. Joyce is batting just .204/.235/.347 in 15 games but is capable of much better and should begin righting the ship soon.
