Jeff Niemann takes the hill for the Rays today, as the Rays trot out most of their regulars for today's Spring Training game against the Orioles. Niemann is slotted as the Rays' fourth starter, and should be expected to throw around 70-90 pitches today as the Rays get him stretched out for the regular season.
Also, John Jaso is apparently still in plenty of pain after taking a foul ball to the groin yesterday. The details aren't the most fun to read, but if you want to read more, Topkin has you covered. Jaso is day-to-day at this point.
