Pearce is back in the lineup Saturday, batting cleanup as the Rays' designated hitter.

EDGE Analysis

Pearce has been battling some elbow discomfort of late, which led to him being out of the lineup for the past three games. He'll serve as the DH on Saturday, suggesting that he might not be quite ready to get back in the field yet. That said, Pearce being back in the lineup gives the Rays a much-needed power bat in the middle of the order Saturday.
