Wesneski allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Wesneski gave up solo home runs to Jung Hoo Lee and Drew Gilbert, but the right-hander was still able to claim his second quality start in three outings this season. He's shown little rust coming off of May 2025 Tommy John surgery, allowing no more than three runs in any start so far. He's at a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 18.2 innings. Wesneski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Mariners over the weekend.

Lux (shoulder) is unlikely to return this season, per MLB.com.

Lux's most recent setback saw him get shut down in mid-July after receiving an injection in his right shoulder. His initial rehab assignment in April was halted by a sprained left ankle, and the infielder was later pulled off another minor-league stint with left shoulder inflammation. The Rays haven't officially ruled out Lux for the remainder of the year, but his status for the rest of 2026 is in major doubt.

McClanahan (back) threw two innings in a simulated game Thursday, per MLB.com.

McClanahan is next scheduled to toss three innings in another outing in the next several days, according to president of baseball operations Erik Neander. The Rays believe the left-hander is dealing with only a minor bout of left mid-back tightness, and McClanahan appears to have a chance of avoiding heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Tampa Bay's rotation.

Martin went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, a stolen base and two additional runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Orioles.

Martin was a thorn in the side of Baltimore pitching out of the leadoff spot, showing off both power and speed Monday. It was his first four-hit attack of the campaign as well as the first time he's homered and swiped a bag in a game this season. Martin has an .809 OPS in 120 at-bats versus left-handed pitchers as opposed to a .587 OPS over 157 at-bats against right-handers, and his lack of success against righties should continue to inhibit his fantasy upside.

Kremer (2-4) earned the win against the Orioles on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in seven innings. He struck out seven.

Facing the team that traded him away a bit over a week ago, Kremer looked very comfortable on the mound against his former Baltimore teammates. The right-hander poured in 60 of his 89 offerings for strikes, putting together his longest outing of the year in his first quality start since July 1 versus the White Sox. Kremer has conceded just a pair of runs in his first 12 innings for the Twins, and he'll try to further improve his 5.25 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB over 48 frames in 2026 this weekend against Philadelphia.

High-A Hub City placed Osorio on the 7-day injured list July 24 due to an unspecified injury.

Osorio made just three appearances coming out of the All-Star break before being shut down. After opening the season at Single-A Hickory, Osorio has continued to produce at a high level since getting bumped up to the South Atlantic League on June 9. Over 34 games at Hub City, the 21-year-old outfielder from Venezuela has slashed .275/.370/.489 with eight home runs.

Rogers (7-8) took the loss against the Twins on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

Rogers struggled to find the plate Monday, throwing only 45 of his 79 pitches for strikes while also plunking a pair of batters. It was the southpaw's shortest outing since May 8 in Tampa Bay, breaking up his streak of 12 starts with at least five innings. Rogers, who's worked to a 2.41 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB since the start of June (71 innings), will be aiming to rediscover his control against the Rays in pitcher-friendly Tampa Bay his next time out.

McAdoo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

In his first major-league game since June 19, McAdoo broke a scoreless tie with a solo blast off Sonny Gray in the fifth inning. He also drew a walk in the sixth and was lifted for Ernie Clement as a defensive replacement in the eighth. The 24-year-old has gone just 5-for-27 with two homers in nine games with the Blue Jays but posted a solid .832 OPS with 16 homers and 12 steals across 385 plate appearances with Triple-A Buffalo this season.

Liranzo (finger) has gone 5-for-36 (.139 average) with three home runs and a 7:16 BB:K in 10 games at Double-A Erie since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 28.

Liranzo was on the shelf for nearly four weeks in July after suffering a left finger laceration. He's struggled a bit at the dish since being activated but is still producing at just above the league-average level (.763 OPS, 103 wRC+) over 244 plate appearances at Double-A on the season.

Gray (14-3) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Gray opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings, losing to the Blue Jays for the second time in his past four outings. The veteran hurler still managed to log his 15th quality start of the season, a feat he's accomplished in each of his past two turns after stumbling at the end of July. He'll take a 2.79 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 110:33 K across 125.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Pirates this weekend.
