Rays' Erasmo Ramirez: Scratched due to weather conditions

Ramirez was scratched from Tuesday's start due to uncertain weather conditions in Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Apparently there is no injury in play; rather manager Kevin Cash seems to be anticipating a weather delay and didn't want to risk an abbreviated outing from Ramirez. Austin Pruitt is now starting while Ramirez will be available out of the bullpen if needed.
