  • Rays' Adrian Santana: Hits ground running in IL return

    Santana (hamstring) went 3-for-6 with a double, two steals and two runs Saturday after being reinstated from High-A Bowling Green's 7-day injured list.

    Santana was on the shelf for just over seven weeks while recovering from a hamstring strain. The switch-hitting shortstop has produced at a high level when available for Bowling Green this season, slashing .313/.381/.400 with three home runs and 23 stolen bases in 47 games.

  • Rays' Bryan Baker: Notches 28th save

    Baker earned the save in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Guardians, tallying a strikeout and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Baker is up to 28 saves (in 31 chances) this season, good for the second most in the majors. The right-hander has been stellar of late, allowing just one run in his last 22 innings. Baker's ERA now sits at a sparkling 1.56 across 40.1 innings this season with a 0.84 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Dominant in ninth win

    Rasmussen (9-5) earned the win Sunday over the Guardians, allowing one hit and one walk across seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

    A Steven Kwan double to lead off the game proved to be the lone hit given up by Rasmussen on Sunday as he blanked Cleveland in an eventual 1-0 victory. In two starts since the All-Star break, Rasmussen has given up just two runs on eight hits across 12 frames after allowing 11 runs in just 7.1 innings in his final two outings of the first half. Overall, Rasmussen's ERA sits at 3.07 through 20 starts (111.1 innings) this season with a 0.93 WHIP and 112 strikeouts. He's tentatively lined up to face the White Sox at home his next time out.

  • Rays' Victor Mesa: Idle against southpaw

    Mesa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    The left-handed hitter will hit the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against lefty starters. Jonny DeLuca will get the call in right field in place of Mesa, who has produced a .265/.339/.592 slash line with five home runs, three stolen bases, eight runs and nine RBI through 17 games in July.

  • Rays' Hunter Feduccia: Resting versus lefty

    Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    The left-handed hitter will head to the bench for the second time in the series while the Guardians send Parker Messick to the bump. Nick Fortes will get the nod over Feduccia behind the dish.

  • Rays' Ben Williamson: Drawing fourth straight start

    Williamson will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Williamson will stick in the starting nine for a fourth straight game while Taylor Walls (fingers) is on the bench for another contest. If Walls' hyperextended fingers don't force him to the injured list, he will eventually settle back in as the Rays' everyday shortstop and push Williamson back into the short side of a platoon at second base with Richie Palacios.

  • Rays' Taylor Walls: Sitting again Sunday

    Walls (fingers) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    It's the fourth straight absence for Walls, who hyperextended the middle and ring fingers on his left hand during a slide into second base Wednesday. Tampa Bay has a team day off Monday, so the 30-year-old will have had nearly a week off to recover by the time Tuesday's series opener versus the Rangers rolls around. Ben Williamson is receiving another start at shortstop Sunday for the Rays.

  • Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Taking seat Sunday

    Aranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Aranda started the previous seven contests but will hit the bench Sunday. The first baseman has yet to get on track since the All-Star break with a .154/.214/.154 slash line and 38.1 percent strikeout rate in 10 games. Ryan Vilade is picking up the start at first base in the series finale versus Cleveland.

  • Rays' Bryan Baker: Nails down 27th save

    Baker secured the save Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning.

    Baker extended his scoreless streak to eight innings Saturday. Additionally, the right-hander last failed to convert a save chance during his May 13 outing in Toronto, which is a stretch of 22 outings without a blown save. Through 39.1 innings in 2026, Baker boasts a 1.60 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB with 27 saves in 30 opportunities.

  • Rays' Nick Martinez: Dazzles in 10th win

    Martinez (10-2) earned the win Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out five.

    It was a brilliant performance by Martinez, who scattered four singles across six shutout frames Saturday. The veteran right-hander is on an excellent run on the hill, either turning in a quality start or working at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in each of his past six appearances. Martinez will take a career-best 2.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 67:20 K:BB over 117.1 frames into his next scheduled outing against the White Sox.

  • Rays' Chris Roycroft: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

    After joining Tampa Bay's bullpen July 6, Roycroft gave up eight earned runs in 13 innings while striking out 11 batters and walking three. He'll now lose his place on the active roster to make room for Steven Matz (ankle), who returned from the injured list Saturday.

  • Rays' Steven Matz: Returns from IL

    The Rays reinstated Matz (ankle) from the injured list Saturday.

    A sprained left ankle has kept Matz on the shelf since June 25, but he's now been cleared to return after giving up three runs in six innings across five rehab appearances at Triple-A Durham. He'll reclaim a long-relief role in Tampa Bay's bullpen and push Chris Roycroft back down to the minors.

  • Rays' Cedric Mullins: Records two extra-base hits

    Mullins went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and a strikeout during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

    Mullins hit his second triple of the season in his second at-bat and came around to score on Jonny DeLuca's RBI single in the fourth inning. In the eighth, the 31-year-old tallied his sixth double of the campaign and crossed home plate after Richie Palacios blasted a three-run homer. On the year, Mullins has slashed .204/.284/.355 with 12 homers, 31 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 347 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Scores three runs in win

    DeLuca went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a walk, three runs scored and two strikeouts during Tampa Bay's 11-3 win over Cleveland on Friday.

    DeLuca scored his first run on Ryan Vilade's two-run homer in the second inning. The 28-year-old later drove in Cedric Mullins in the fourth to extend Tampa Bay's early lead and scored two more times after that. On the season, DeLuca has batted .267/.303/.440 with six homers, 32 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 203 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Richie Palacios: Blasts homer in win

    Palacios went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a strikeout during the Rays' 11-3 win over the Guardians on Friday.

    Palacios took over at second base for Ryan Vilade in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old made a huge impact in his second at-bat with a long three-run homer to give the Rays an 11-1 lead. After picking up his first long ball since July 10, Palacios is now slashing .233/.328/.344 with four homers, 30 RBI and nine stolen bases in 247 plate appearances this season.
