Rays put 1B James Loney on disabled list with broken finger

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – The Tampa Bay Rays have put first baseman James Loney on the 15-day disabled list with a broken left middle finger.

Loney was hurt sliding while stealing third base in the eighth inning of Sunday’s game against Oakland.

The Rays recalled infielder Tim Beckham and infielder-outfielder Jake Elmore from Triple-A Durham before Monday night’s game with Seattle.

Reliever Preston Guilmet was optioned to Durham after Sunday’s game.

Right fielder Steven Souza Jr. (sprained left wrist) and shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (groin strain), both injured Sunday, were out of Monday’s starting lineup.
