KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - A year after being a trendy preseason pick to contend for the World Series, the Tampa Bay Rays are back in a familiar role as underdogs.
''That's good. ... We like that,'' three-time All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria said, noting the team has a history of flourishing most when little is expected from outside the organization.
''I just think it's going to be a really good year,'' the club's career home run and RBIs leader said. ''We've got a young team, a bunch of guys eager to learn and get out there and win games. I'm really looking forward to that.''
Former manager Joe Maddon - and his often unconventional way of doing things - is gone.
So is Andrew Friedman, the young executive who was architect of the teams that made the playoffs four of the past seven seasons.
The roster has a much different look, too, with 10 key players from a year ago either traded or released this winter.
''The end result is a club that we have optimism about, a club that we're excited about, that we think can compete for a playoff spot. And, that's what we want,'' team president of baseball operations Matt Silverman said.
''Every year, we want to come into camp believing our team can play meaningful games in September and have a chance to go to the playoffs, and even beyond,'' Silverman added. ''We have that - and at the same time, we've reloaded our minor league system, added some players who impact us this year, might impact us in the future, and we're better off because of that.''
Shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, catcher Rene Rivera, outfielder Steven Souza Jr., and pitchers Kevin Jepsen, Ernesto Frieri and Burch Smith are offseason acquisitions who could figure in the team's success - or failure.
Smith and two other young starters - Matt Andriese and Nathan Karns - figure to begin the season in the rotation because of injuries to Alex Cobb, Drew Smyly, and Matt Moore.
The hope is the rest of the projected rotation, Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi, can help the Rays stay afloat until they can get back to full strength.
''If you've got starting pitching, you've got a leg up on going into the season,'' rookie manager Kevin Cash said. ''We're very fortunate with the pitchers we have - starters and relievers.''
Cobb, sidelined by a forearm strain during spring training, believes the team will thrive as underdogs.
''We're not going to get bullied. A lot of people are picking us at the bottom, and we're going to embrace that and have each other's backs,'' the right-hander said.
''Any time anybody calls you out in your profession and makes you feel like you're not as good as you know you are, there's always something to prove,'' Cobb said. ''I don't feel like we need to have extra motivation. It's just going to be that much sweeter when we go out there and perform well.''
A look at the keys to the Rays' season:
WHO WILL LEAD?: Pitching and defense were staples during six consecutive winning seasons that produced four playoff berths and one trip to the World Series. The Rays slipped to 77-85 a year ago, their first losing record since 2007. They're banking on Cash, who has no previous managerial experience, being the right fit to restore winning ways. At 37, he's the youngest current manager or head coach in the four major professional sports.
BETTER LONGO: Longoria played in every game in 2014 for the first time in his career, however he hit a disappointing .253 with 22 homers and 91 RBIs. He's moving into the cleanup spot after batting third most of his career, and knows he has to be more consistent if the Rays - last in the AL in runs scored a year ago - are going to have a chance to be better offensively.
BEHIND THE PLATE: Catcher Ryan Hanigan was traded and backup Jose Molina was released this winter. The three-team deal that sent Wil Myers to San Diego and brought Souza to Tampa Bay from Washington, also landed Rivera from the Padres.
The Rays believe he's an upgrade defensively, as well as offensively.
Rivera posted career highs with a .252 batting average, 11 homers and 44 RBI's in 103 games last season. Still, the 31-year-old catcher stresses his job is to provide solid direction behind the plate.
''I want to help my pitching staff first. I think that's what the game is all about. If you pitch well, you're going to win some games,'' Rivera said. ''If I get a hit here, a hit there and help us win some games, that's even better.''
NY YANKEES: NEW YORK (AP) - Derek Jeter is gone, the final remaining link to the New York Yankees' last dynasty. He left behind a team in transition, that failed to make the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time in a generation and is beset with an older core coming off injuries.
Alex Rodriguez's return from a season-long drug suspension is the most interesting aspect of the Yankees, who enter the season with a health-challenged rotation, rebuilt bullpen and lineup that was among the least potent in the American League last year.
''I think we've added a lot of good young arms,'' manager Joe Girardi said. ''Added some good young players, as well. I think we've really seen an improvement in our young minor league players and the impact they are capable of having. I think we will continue to see that for years to come.''
If the Yankees founder, young players could be given more of a chance. Top prospects include pitcher Luis Severino, infielders Jose Pirela and Rob Refsnyder, and outfielder Aaron Judge.
But first, many of the old, beaten-up players will be given a chance to show they have something left.
Left fielder Brett Gardner (abdomen) and right fielder Carlos Beltran (elbow) return from surgery, and Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) missed a significant stretch of spring training. First baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) hit .216 last year, 143rd among 148 major league qualifiers in his return from an injury that sidelined him for most of 2013.
After signing a big-money deal with the Yankees, catcher Brian McCann was hitting just .209 in May before improving in the second half to finish at .232. Third baseman Chase Headley, acquired from San Diego in July, was given a new contract by the Yankees because they have no confidence in A-Rod's ability to play the field. New York also re-signed Stephen Drew under the theory he can't be as bad as he was in 2014.
Didi Gregorius, obtained from Arizona in a trade, is the primary offensive newcomer and replaces Jeter at shortstop. Left-handed-hitting Garrett Jones hopes to earn at-bats.
''Jeter is still Jeter. Everything that everybody is going to talk about is Jeter,'' Gregorius said. ''But for me - I'm learning and I'm there just to play the game, so just trying to focus on the game and trying to win every game, that's all I can say, not worrying about what's going on around.''
LIGHTNING ROD: The three-time AL MVP, who turns 40 on July 27, has not played a full season since 2007 because the suspension, operations on both hips and other injuries. New York owes him $61 million over the final three seasons of his contract, so he will be given a chance to earn at-bats as a DH, especially against left-handed starters.
RICKETY ROTATION: Masahiro Tanaka missed 2 1/2 months in his first season because of a small elbow ligament tear the Yankees say didn't need surgery. CC Sabathia, limited to eight starts last year, has to show he can pitch effectively with reduced velocity. Michael Pineda, back from shoulder surgery, had a 1.89 ERA in 13 starts last year but missed a long stretch because of the shoulder. New York hopes hard-throwing Nathan Eovaldi can learn to be effective after his acquisition from Miami. With Chris Capuano on the DL and Ivan Nova not expected back from Tommy John surgery until May or June, Adam Warren was the leading contender for fifth starter.
BULLPEN: A strong point last year, the Yankees rebuilt the `pen. David Robertson was allowed to leave for the Chicago White Sox, and David Phelps, Shawn Kelley and Shane Greene were traded. Lefty Andrew Miller and Scott Baker were signed, and Justin Wilson and Chris Martin acquired in trades. Miller and Dellin Betances competed in spring training to replace Robertson as closer.
HOPS: The Yankees are sharing their ballpark with Major League Soccer's expansion New York City team, and Teixeira complained before the soccer team's home opener that the infield would get torn up, leading to bad hops.

*Rays-Yankees Preview* ======================

By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

Tampa Bay (11-8) at New York (11-8), 7:05 p.m. EDT

Alex Rodriguez put himself on the brink of catching Willie Mays on the all-time home run list while helping the New York Yankees take a series from a red-hot team.

He'll seek career homer No. 660 on Monday night while aiding the Yankees' attempt to slow down another surging club, the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rodriguez hit a solo homer in the first inning and doubled in a four-run second that paved the way for a 6-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday. The Yankees' crosstown rivals were seeking to claim the spotlight in the city after a 13-3 start that featured 11 consecutive wins but dropped two of three in the Bronx.

With his fifth home run of the season, Rodriguez also moved one away from potentially making himself $6 million richer but it's unclear if he'll see that money without a legal fight. The Yankees made a $30 million marketing deal that could give him bonuses for up to five accomplishments, but the timetable for those payments will be determined by the team.

That agreement was made before A-Rod's suspension for performance-enhancing drugs in 2014 and the Yankees might not prove eager to pay up. They've reportedly provided little publicity in his pursuit of fourth place on the home run list.

"I don't have a marketing degree, so I'm just focusing on playing baseball," he said.

Rodriguez will get to chase that milestone at Yankee Stadium for three more games before a six-game trip to Boston and Toronto. In the first of those, New York (11-8) will try to end Tampa Bay's string of five consecutive victories.

The Rays (11-8) have outscored opponents 30-12 while batting .317 and had 13 hits in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Sunday. Brandon Guyer hit a leadoff homer and drove in a career-high four runs.

Evan Longoria improved to 7 for 7 in his last two games and has gone 11 for 19 in the win streak, raising his average from .186 to .306. He's reached base in each of his last eight plate appearances.

"Offensively, we're top to bottom putting together good at-bats. It's been fun to watch," he said.

The Rays third baseman was just 1 for 9 in a three-game home sweep to the Yankees from April 17-19 and is batting .167 with two extra-base hits in his last 13 meetings.

Tampa Bay was outscored 19-7 while batting .202 in that sweep, and Rodriguez hit a pair of homers in the series opener, the first off Monday's starter Nathan Karns (1-1, 5.32 ERA). It remains his only multihomer game since May 23, 2012.

Karns allowed two runs and two hits in his five innings in that 5-4 loss, and did not get a decision in his first start against the Yankees. The right-hander gave up five runs in six innings Wednesday against Boston and avoided a loss when Tampa Bay rallied for a 7-5 victory that started its current streak.

The Rays won more than five in a row just once last season - a nine-game streak in July - and Adam Warren (1-1, 5.40) will try to prevent them from reaching that mark.

The right-hander also pitched opposite Karns on April 17 and gave up four runs in four innings in his only start against Tampa Bay. He surrendered four runs and four walks over 5 2-3 innings Wednesday in Detroit but got the win in a 13-4 victory.

This will be Tampa Bay's first game this season in open air after playing 12 home games and its seven road contests against Miami and Toronto. No major league team has ever gone this far into a season playing all its games under a roof.
