UPDATE, 9:49: Cash said having Faria pitch in the sim game wasn't to avoid facing the Red Sox, whom Rays face in the season opening series, but to let him work "in a controlled environment" on his tempo.
UPDATE, 9:37: The Rays made their first "cut" of the spring, reassigning INF Grant Kay to minor-league camp. Kay had been limited by a sore shoulder. He spent most of last season at Double-A Montgomery.
DEVELOPING: The Rays are back in action today in Port Charlotte, and have two of their previously injured infielders, Matt Duffy (back) and Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) back in action.
