ANAHEIM -- On Thursday the Rays announced that veteran outfielder Colby Rasmus had been placed on the restricted list following his decision to step away from baseball.
Rays manager Kevin Cash echoed the team's statement from Thursday when he told reporters Friday: "We kind of, as an organization, are not going to comment about it too much. But we appreciate all of his efforts. We were a good team with Colby and he did a lot of good things for us."
Evan Longoria allowed that everybody "knew he was going through some stuff" because he hadn't been around the clubhouse.
