Rays' Brandon Lowe: Pops 25th homer
Lowe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Cardinals.
Lowe led off the scoring for the Rays in the first inning with his 25th homer of the campaign. Six of those home runs have come in his last 15 starts, raising his slugging percentage to .489 for the season -- his highest mark since the 2021 campaign.

Rays' Tristan Gray: Pops first homer
Gray went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Cardinals.
Gray has spent the majority of the past month in the majors but has primarily been a bench bat. However, with a significant number of injuries across the Rays' depth chart, he's been called upon to start three consecutive games between shortstop and second base. Gray popped his first home run of the season and second of his career in the second inning.

Rays' Adrian Houser: Stumbles late in seventh win
Houser (7-4) earned the win Friday against St. Louis, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out two.
Houser was working toward firing seven innings of two-run ball, but Nathan Church launched a two-run home run in the seventh frame to prevent the hurler from logging a quality start. The veteran right-hander was quite a pleasant surprise while posting a 1.56 ERA through his first nine starts in 2025, but he's staggered to a 5.18 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across his last six outings (33 innings). Houser will be aiming to right the ship in his next appearance, currently projected for next weekend against the last-place Nationals.

Rays' Jake Mangum: Fills box score in win
Mangum went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cardinals.
The four-hit game was Mangum's third of the season, and it was just his second contest of the year with multiple extra-base hits. The speedy switch hitter is a strong source of steals -- he has 20 stolen bases over 311 at-bats -- but he's provided very little in the way of power in 2025. Mangum is hitting .283 with two home runs, 14 doubles, 34 RBI and 32 runs scored across 90 outings.

Rays' Carson Williams: Goes yard in major-league debut
Williams went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-6 win over the Cardinals.
Making his big-league debut, Williams went deep in the seventh inning to give the Rays a 9-6 lead. As long as Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list, Williams should be able to handle everyday reps as Tampa Bay's shortstop. Williams slashed a pedestrian .213/.318/.447 with 55 RBI but did launch 23 homers and steal 22 bases over 451 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham in 2025, so fantasy managers in deeper settings can consider adding the rookie infielder for his power and speed potential.

Rays' Carson Williams: Making major-league debut
Williams is starting at shortstop and batting seventh against the Cardinals on Friday.
Williams should see regular playing time at shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (back) is on the 10-day injured list. Williams has had his fair share of struggles at the plate in Triple-A with a .213 batting average across 451 plate appearances, but he's also displayed his speed and power with five triples, 22 stolen bases, 23 homers and 55 RBI.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Not in Friday's lineup
Diaz (hamstring) is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Friday.
Diaz was diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring injury that he suffered against St. Louis on Thursday. He'll be out of the lineup Friday but could be available for Sunday's series finale. Brandon Lowe will serve as the Rays' designated hitter Friday while Tristan Gray draws the start at second base and bats ninth.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Demotion to minors now official
The Rays optioned Boyle to Triple-A Durham on Friday.
Boyle had yielded 16 runs (15 earned) over his last three starts and did not last longer than four innings in any of those outings. He will look to sharpen things up back at Durham and hope to get another opportunity with the Rays later this season.

Rays' Brian Van Belle: Promoted Friday
The Rays recalled Van Belle from Triple-A Durham on Friday.
Van Belle will receive his first look in the majors after being acquired from the Reds in the Zack Littell trade last month. The 29-year-old is taking the roster spot of Joe Boyle, who had been working out of the rotation for Tampa Bay and started Thursday versus St. Louis. Van Belle should be a candidate to fill that spot given his 3.17 ERA across 105 innings at Triple-A this year, but the Rays have yet to announce their updated pitching plans. Van Belle will likely be available out of the bullpen for the at least the next few days since the rotation opening won't come back up until next week in Cleveland.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Will be optioned back to minors
Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Friday that Boyle will be optioned to Triple-A Durham, Tom Krasniqi of 95.3 WDAE reports.
Boyle surrendered six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks over four innings in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals and has been tagged for 16 runs (15 earned) over his last three starts. The right-hander has dominated at Durham this season (1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings) and shown flashes at the major-league level, but Boyle is still looking for more consistency.

Rays' Josh Lowe: Nabs 13th steal
Lowe went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Lowe has gone 1-for-8 with a walk and five strikeouts over two games since returning from right oblique tightness. He wasn't hitting all that well prior to the injury, batting just .154 (6-for-39) over the 11 games before he stepped out of the lineup for a few days. The outfielder has offered mediocre category coverage this year, posting 13 steals, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored and a .226/.293/.362 slash line over 78 contests.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Handed third loss
Boyle (1-3) allowed six runs (five earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings to take the loss versus the Cardinals on Thursday.
The one bright spot was that he kept the ball in the yard for just the second time in his last six outings. Boyle has allowed at least six runs three times in that span, and he's also issued three or more walks in three of those starts. For the season, the 26-year-old is at a disappointing 5.40 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB through 36.2 innings over 10 appearances (six starts). Boyle is tentatively projected to make his next start at Cleveland.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Avoids serious injury
Diaz was diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring injury after leaving Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Diaz suffered the injury while running the bases in the fifth inning of Thursday's contest. His availability for Friday's contest is now up in the air, but it doesn't sound as if Diaz has suffered a significant injury.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Diagnosed with hamstring soreness
Diaz exited Thursday's game against the Cardinals due to right hamstring soreness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Diaz appeared to suffer the injury in the fifth inning but remained in the game for two additional frames. The severity of the issue isn't currently known, but more details should emerge Friday after he potentially undergoes medical imaging.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Exits with foot injury
Diaz was removed from Thursday's game against the Cardinals due to a foot/ankle injury, Brian Murphy of MLB.comreports.
Diaz appeared to initially suffer the injury while running the bases in the fifth inning. He remained in the contest but was ultimately removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh frame. Diaz will likely undergo imaging, which should provide a better idea of how much time he'll miss, if any.

Rays' Stuart Fairchild: Moved to 60-day IL
The Rays transferred Fairchild (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Fairchild has not resumed baseball activities since landing on the injured list July 23. Now on the 60-day injured list, he won't be able to return until the last week of the regular season. The 29-year-old's season is likely over, especially if Tampa Bay is out of the playoff race. The transaction created roster space for the promotion of Carson Williams.
