Rays' Shane Peterson: Sits out Tuesday

Peterson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Peterson has been a staple in the Rays' lineup since being called up, and he's rewarded them by batting .333 (9-for-27) thanks in part to a modest six-game hit streak. He'll head to the bench for a night off with southpaw Wade Miley taking the ball for Baltimore, allowing Peter Bourjos to pick up a start in left field.
