ST. PETERSBURG -- Catcher Curt Casali was in the Rays' clubhouse prior to the club's contest against the White Sox on Friday as a member of the team's "taxi squad."
Casali was allowed to work out with the team prior to the contest and the Rays said that it's "safe to assume" that the catcher will be activated for Saturday's game versus Chicago.
"Coming out of Spring Training, it was kind of a heated battle between Curt and [Bobby Wilson]," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "Both played well. Both do some things, maybe different things, but they connect with the pitchers really well.
