The Rays finalized both their 40-man and 25-man roster Sunday. With DH Luke Scott headed to the DL, right-handed power hitter Shelley Duncan was added to the Opening Day roster as his replacement.

Relievers Jamey Wright—who will be in the bullpen Opening Day—and Juan Carlos Oviedo (60-day DL) were added to the 40-man roster as well.

Utility man Stephen Vogt and catcher Robinson Chirinos were both designated for assignment to make room on the roster.
