Rays' Mason Englert: Fans nine during loss
Englert (0-2) took the loss Sunday against the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine over 5.2 innings.
Englert was recalled from Triple-A Durham to make the start Sunday and turned in his longest major-league outing while recording a career-high nine punchouts. He surrendered solo home runs to Christian Walker and Isaac Paredes, accounting for all of Houston's offense. Englert also generated 16 swinging strikes and recorded at least one strikeout in every inning he pitched. While the Rays currently lack a scheduled starter for Friday's game against the Mariners, Englert could be the leading candidate to get another turn in the rotation.

Rays' Taylor Walls: Resting Sunday
Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Walls will get a breather after he went 10-for-36 (.278 average) with one stolen base, nine runs and two RBI while starting in the Rays' previous 11 games. Ben Williamson will replace Walls at shortstop and will bat sixth in the series finale.

Rays' Chandler Simpson: Returning to starting nine Sunday
Simpson (finger) will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Astros, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Simpson will check back into the starting nine after sore right index and middle fingers kept him on the bench the previous two nights. Before his recent absences, Simpson had recorded at least one hit in 11 of 12 starts, slashing .386/.438/.477 while adding six steals, three runs and two RBI during that stretch.

Rays' Mason Englert: Promoted to start Sunday
The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against the Astros.
The right-hander spent the past few weeks in the minors and will rejoin Tampa Bay to start Sunday's series finale in Houston. It'll be just the second big-league start of the season for Englert, though he was utilized as a long reliever during his most recent stint in the majors in early June, when he made two appearances and allowed one run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts over nine innings. For the season, the 26-year-old has a 3.96 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 25 big-league innings.

Rays' Trevor Martin: Moving back to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Martin to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
Martin will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Mason Englert, who was recalled from Triple-A to start Sunday's game in Houston. Over six relief appearances with Tampa Bay this season, Martin has yielded five earned runs on 14 hits and four walks while striking out seven across 11.1 innings.

Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Rare dud in no-decision
Rasmussen took a no-decision Saturday against the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.
Rasmussen was never quite able to fully settle in following a two-run first inning, later giving up three more runs across the fourth and fifth frames. Not only did the two punchouts match a season low, but the 30-year-old right-hander coughed up more runs Saturday alone than he did in his previous five starts combined, surrendering just three during that stretch. Rasmussen will look to bounce back against the Yankees in his next scheduled start, still holding a strong 2.78 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 96:17 K:BB over 97 innings.

Rays' Chandler Simpson: Sitting again Saturday
Simpson (finger) is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.
Simpson was a late scratch Friday due to sore right index and middle fingers, which will keep him out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. Victor Mesa, Cedric Mullins and Jonny DeLuca will start in the outfield Saturday from left to right.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Not in Saturday's lineup
Diaz is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Astros on Saturday.
Diaz will get a breather after going 1-for-12 with two walks over his last three games. Jonathan Aranda will serve as the Rays' designated hitter Saturday while Ryan Vilade draws the start at first base.

Rays' Nick Martinez: Solid again in no-decision
Martinez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Martinez was cruising until he yielded a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez in the sixth inning, subsequently departing in a 1-1 tie after allowing a single to the next batter he faced. While he hasn't been able to notch a quality start in either outing, the 35-year-old has yielded just one earned run while pitching into the sixth in both of his past two starts. He'll take a 2.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 100 innings this season into a home matchup with the Yankees next week.

Rays' Bryan Baker: Secures 23rd save
Baker earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Baker was called upon to close things out for the second straight game and did so on just eight pitches. It continued an All-Star-worthy campaign for the 31-year-old, who has converted 23 of 26 save chances while posting a 1.83 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 34.1 innings this season.

Rays' Nick Fortes: Raps homer, double in win
Fortes went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional RBI in Friday's 3-1 win over Houston.
Despite seeing limited action behind the plate, Fortes is making the most out of his playing time recently. Over his last seven games (17 at-bats), the 29-year-old backstop is hitting .412 with the aforementioned two extra-base hits, five RBI, five runs scored and a walk. Fortes should continue battling with Hunter Feduccia for reps behind the dish moving forward.
