Souza (hand) will likely rejoin the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Souza made it through his rehab assignment without a setback, but he will be checked out by team doctors Thursday before being given the green light to resume playing for the big club. As long as everything checks out Thursday, Souza will likely be in the lineup when the Rays kick off a series with the Red Sox on Friday.
