Jennings' sore left knee has shown little improvement over the past week, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Jennings (knee) has now been out of the Rays' lineup for six consecutive games and, according to Manager Joe Maddon, will not return to action before the injury shows improvement. With extra outfielders available due to roster expansion this month, the Tampa Bay skipper also expressed that the team can obviously afford to be more cautious.
