The Devil Rays may be without shortstop Julio Lugo for another two weeks.
When Lugo was forced to leave the April 3 opener and placed on the disabled list with a strained abdominal muscle, both he and the team expected him to be back by tonight, when he is eligible to be reinstated.
But manager Joe Maddon said Lugo is not healthy enough to return and could need another week to 10 days before he would be ready to test in by playing in extended spring training games.
"He'll take that slowly, and when he can participate in a game he shall," Maddon said. "I don't think he's really close to doing that yet. ... That's such a weird injury, you just don't know about that. It's really a strange one."
