Joyce is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Yankees, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Joyce almost never enters the lineup against opposing lefty starters, so he'll unsurprisingly be on the bench with southpaw Chris Capuano twirling for the Yanks. Sean Rodriguez will bump Joyce from the lineup, assuming the DH duties for the Rays.
