Saturday lineups; Matulia back; Hot Rods to depart

John Matulia is in the Double-A lineup today for mini-intrasquad games in Port Charlotte. Matulia has been out with a back injury and I haven't laid eyes on him all week. He should be with the Biscuits this season, though he'll likely miss Opening Day.

The Rays were planning on four games today, all starting at 11 a.m. EDT, so the pitchers can stay on a regular schedule (Matt Moore starting for Double-A). The games won't be long or, as you can tell by the eight-man lineups below, a vigorous competitive exercise.

Only two lineups available at the moment. The Bowling Green-bound players are scheduled to depart today. The Rays say the roster has to come from the Hot Rods and will not release it.
