The Rays recalled outfielder Desmond Jennings from Triple-A Durham after Friday night's 10-4 loss to the Royals. The optioned shortstop Reid Brignac to Durham. "We wanted to get Desmond up here and we wanted to get Brignac better offensively," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "There's no question Reid is a Major League caliber shortstop without question. And I don't like the idea of him not playing defense for us. But moving down the road we have to get better on the offensive side of the ball." Maddon said they felt Jennings was ready and that he's coming up to play every day in left field.
