Rays send Burrell home with neck pain

Rays designated hitter Pat Burrell was sent home from the team's current road trip so that team doctors can examine his sore neck. The pain is on the left side of his neck and above the shoulder.

"He really has a hard time when he’s turning his head to see the pitcher," manager Joe Maddon said in an Associated Press story. "It’s awkward for him to turn all the way."

The Rays finish a three-city road trip in Baltimore tonight.
