The Tampa Bay Rays experienced a delayed return home from Tuesday's historic trip to Cuba.

The team's flight was delayed due to mechanical issues with the plane.

"The trip was great," Kevin Cash said. "...Not to take anything away from the trip, that's what it was all about. A little glitch at the end. That's OK, we'll adjust, and the guys will get some rest."

The other two flights from Havana arrived in Tampa just after 11 p.m.

In response to the delay, the Rays canceled Wednesday's optional workout at Tropicana Field. Players who traveled to Cuba did not make the trip to Fort Myers on Wednesday.

"A lot of guys were coming down to play today," Cash said. "So what we're going to do [Thursday], is we're going to basically have a game or some guys get in the Double-A or Triple-A games at one o'clock, along with [Chris] Archer pitching to [Curt] Casali. And then we'll have a night game in Tampa where most of the guys will stay up there and play."
