Jennings (knee) will not return to the Rays in 2014, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Although Jennings has reported feeling better of late, he hasn't improved enough to warrant a return during the season's final week. With the Rays securely out of the playoff contention, there would be little reason to rush him back anyway. Rather than travel with the team for their final six-game road trip, Jennings will remain in Tampa Bay, where he'll continue to undergo treatment with the hopes of getting fully healthy for 2015. His knee injury has kept him out of action since Aug. 29, limiting the outfielder to 123 games this year. When healthy, Jennings was able to post a .244/.319/.378 slash line, but his 15 steals represented a four-year low. He should have a starting outfield job heading into next year, but it's currently unclear how the recent ailment will affect his status in the offseason, where he'll be arbitration-eligible for the first time.

Jennings (knee) will likely miss the remainder of the 2014 season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings has missed the previous nine games due to the injury, and it looks like he will miss a lot more. The team has been rolling with Kevin Kiermaier in center field, and with no playoff chase this season, there is no reason for the club to rush back their center fielder.

Jennings (knee) missed his ninth straight game Saturday.

The Rays still have not revealed a timetable for Jennings' return, but there is no incentive for the team to push him back on the field at less than 100 percent given that they're no longer in the playoff picture.

Jennings (bruised knee) has no timetable for a return, Roger Moooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Jennings is still experiencing pain when he runs, an obvious concern for a player whose skill set is predicated on speed. Rather than trot out Jennings in the lineup at diminished strength, the Rays will give the outfielder as much time as he needs to get back to 100 percent health, though there's no telling how long that might take. Until Jennings reports improvement, Kevin Kiermaier will man center field on a near-everyday basis.

Jennings' sore left knee has shown little improvement over the past week, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings (knee) has now been out of the Rays' lineup for six consecutive games and, according to Manager Joe Maddon, will not return to action before the injury shows improvement. With extra outfielders available due to roster expansion this month, the Tampa Bay skipper also expressed that the team can obviously afford to be more cautious.

Jennings (knee) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings was scratched from the lineup Friday with left knee soreness, and missed Saturday and Sunday because of the injury. That is the case again Monday, and with the rosters having expanded, the team will likely take its time in the return of Jennings with nothing left to play for.

Jennings (knee) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The bruised knee will cost Jennings his third straight game, but it's not believed a long-term absence is in store for the outfielder. He'll be replaced in center field and the leadoff spot by Kevin Kiermaier.

Jennings (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings was a late scratch from Friday's lineup but the team later clarified that he's just dealing with a bruise, suggesting it's merely a day-to-day situation. However, Jennings will sit again Saturday as Kevin Kiermaier mans center and Ben Zobrist leads off, and it's uncertain whether Jennings will be available in any capacity Sunday.

Jennings' knee injury is being diagnosed as a bruise, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

The injury caused Jennings to become a late scratch for Friday's game, but he is day-to-day heading into Saturday.

Jennings (shoulder) is back in the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings sat each of the last two games because of the shoulder injury, but appears to be healthy enough to return Friday. He will take his place back in center field and at the top of the lineup for the Rays, sending Kevin Kiermaier back to right field and Brandon Guyer to the bench.

Jennings (shoulder) expects to return to the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jennings' shoulder is still ailing him, so he'll be given another day off with the hope that it aids his recovery. Kevin Kiermaier will cover center field for Jennings.

Jennings is out of the lineup Wednesday due to shoulder soreness, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

During the eighth inning of Tuesday's game, Jennings made an over-the-shoulder catch to take extra bases away from the Rangers' Leonys Martin, but he ended up crashing into the outfield wall. While his shoulder is a little sore as a result, manager Joe Maddon said that Jennings could be available late in the game and should be able to play Thursday.

Jennings will take a seat after starting eight straight games, including Tuesday's contest in which he played all 14 innings. Kevin Kiermaier will man center field Wednesday, granting Jennings the night off.

Jennings went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Jennings is out of the lineup Sunday vs. the Angels, MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports.

Jennings didn't appear to suffer any sort of injury in Saturday's game, so his absence from the lineup likely amounts to a day of rest. Kevin Kiermaier will move over from right field to cover center for Jennings.

Desmond Jennings hit a two-run double and stole a base in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Jennings' third-inning double cut the Red Sox lead to one, but it was as close as the Rays would get. It was his only hit in four at-bats on the afternoon. Jennings also stole his 13th base of the season, his first steal and his first attempt in July. The outfielder is hitting .246/.333/.395 with nine home runs overall.

Desmond Jennings went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored as the Rays' leadoff hitter on Wednesday.

The good news is that Jennings is hitting .311 this month. The bad is that he hasn't attempted a single steal after going 1-for-4 in June. He also has just one homer, so he hasn't made much of a contribution in mixed leagues. He rates as a pretty big disappointment for fantasy purposes.
