Headley (back) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is expected to take batting practice Wednesday and could potentially be available off the bench, as his back is feeling a little better. This gives hope to him returning to the lineup either Thursday against the Rays or sometime this weekend against the Blue Jays. Ronald Torreyes will start at third base and hit seventh Wednesday.
