ST. PETERSBURG -- Desmond Jennings was scratched from the Rays' starting lineup prior to Saturday night's game against the Orioles with what the team described as "recurring left knee soreness."
The 28-year-old outfielder, who has now missed six games since his ailing knee forced an early exit from last Saturday's matchup with the Blue Jays, had been slated to DH. He was replaced in the lineup by Tim Beckham, who singled sharply to left in his first trip to the plate.
