News: Rays SS Jason Bartlett went 3-for-4 against the White Sox on Saturday as he scored two runs hitting in the No. 9 spot in the order. Bartlett doubled and singled twice.

Bartlett has now found himself in an eight-game hitting streak, batting .345 (10-for-29) with three doubles, a triple and five runs scored in that span.
Rays.MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports Tampa Bay Rays SS Jason Bartlett (knee) didn't feel any lingering effects from Saturday, Aug. 16, when he felt a pop and a shooting pain in his right knee.
Jason Bartlett is questionable for Sunday's game after having "some issues" with his knee following a third-inning slide. Bartlett might want to take some sliding lessons. Just like when he injured his knee earlier this season, he appeared to slide late. "He's all right, I just don't know how stiff he's going to be," manager Joe Maddon said. "I'm going to have to wait to find out... if he can go. I'd like to him to go if he can, but we'll see."Source: St Petersburg Times
