Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Slugs decisive homer
DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over Baltimore.
DeLuca launched his sixth home run of the season off Corbin Burnes in the sixth inning, the only runs scored in the 2-0 victory. The 26-year-old DeLuca has now started nine of the past ten games for Tampa Bay, batting .361 with four extra-base hits, three stolen bases and eight runs scored in 38 plate appearances. On the year, the speedy outfielder owns a disappointing .623 OPS with 27 runs scored, 30 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 93 games.

Rays' Edwin Uceta: Dominant in five-out save
Uceta notched his second save of the season Sunday against Baltimore, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four in 1.2 innings.
Called upon to preserve a 2-0 lead with two runners on and one out in the eighth, Uceta promptly struck out the next two batters to escape the jam. Uceta then worked around a single and a walk in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season. Save opportunities have been few and far between, but Uceta has been dominant since Pete Fairbanks (lat) landed on the injured list on Aug. 19, throwing 7.1 scoreless innings with a sparkling 15:2 K:BB during that stretch. The 26-year-old Uceta hasn't allowed a run since July 31 and owns a pristine 0.75 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 50:6 K:BB in 36 innings this season.

Rays' Zack Littell: Five shutout innings in win
Littell (6-9) threw five scoreless innings to pick up the win Sunday against Baltimore, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out four.
Littell was sharp, limiting a potent Orioles offense to just three singles to earn his first win since Aug. 3. The 28-year-old has been excellent over his past six starts, allowing one or fewer runs in five of those outings, pitching to a 1.99 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB in 31.2 innings. Littell doesn't offer gaudy strikeout totals, but his superb command has allowed him to maintain consistency. On the year, the right-hander owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 122:31 K:BB in 138.2 innings (26 starts). He will look to stay hot in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend in Cleveland.

Rays' Cole Sulser: Set to open Monday's contest
Sulser is listed as the Rays' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
Sulser hasn't covered more than 2.2 innings in any of his 39 appearances between the majors and Triple-A this season, so he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before exiting the contest. Tyler Alexander will likely be deployed in bulk relief behind Sulser.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Not in Sunday's lineup
Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Diaz started the previous four games and will receive a day off after going 7-for16 with two homers, five RBI and three runs during that span. Jonathan Aranda will receive a start at first base in the series finale at Baltimore.

Rays' Brandon Lowe: Absence continuing Sunday
Lowe (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Rays' Tyler Alexander: Back in big leagues
The Rays recalled Alexander from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
The left-hander was optioned to Durham on Thursday but will quickly return to the big leagues with Jeffrey Springs (elbow) headed to the injured list. Alexander has a 5.66 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 19 appearances (seven starts) for the Rays this season, and he could work as a starter or bulk reliever down the stretch in place of Springs.

Rays' Jeffrey Springs: Out with elbow fatigue
The Rays placed Springs on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left elbow fatigue.
The left-hander lined up to take the mound early this week in Philadelphia, but he'll instead head to the IL due to the elbow issue. Springs will be eligible to return from the injured list in late September, potentially in time for a couple starts, but there's a real chance he won't return with the Rays six games back of the final wild-card spot. If he is done for the season, the 31-year-old will close the campaign with a 3.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 33 innings (seven starts).

Walls went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Orioles.
Walls had his best game of the season Saturday, homering for the first time this year in the third inning and swiping his 13th bag in the eighth. The shortstop has produced on just six hits in his past 10 games, scoring six times while driving in seven runs.

Over his past 10 games, the 33-year-old has tallied five multi-hit efforts while homering four times and driving in eight runs. On the season, he's batting .279 with 14 home runs, 64 RBI and 51 runs scored across 567 plate appearances.

Pepiot (8-6) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Pepiot tossed five scoreless frames before surrendering a solo home run to Cedric Mullins in the sixth. The 27-year-old has been taken deep in four consecutive starts but has yielded two earned runs or fewer in eight of his past 10 outings overall. On the season, he owns a 3.66 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 118:40 K:BB across 113 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Guardians next week.
