Rays' Gavin Lux: Return unlikely this year
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.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Goes through simulated game
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.

Rays' Jake Woodford: Lands with Tampa Bay
Woodford agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Woodford was cast off the Cubs' 40-man roster Tuesday and elected free agency a few days later. It didn't take long for the right-hander to find work, as he'll be brought in by the Rays on a minor-league deal to serve as pitching depth. Woodford owns a 7.18 ERA and 1.78 WHIP with 23 strikeouts across 26.1 innings in the big leagues this season between stops in Milwaukee and Chicago.

Rays' Liam Hicks: Taking seat against lefty
Hicks is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Athletics.
Lefty Jacob Lopez is starting for the Athletics, marking the first time the Rays have faced a southpaw since the left-handed-hitting Hicks joined the club. Nick Fortes will grab a start at catcher while Hicks rests.

Rays' Cedric Mullins: Sitting versus southpaw
Mullins is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.
The left-handed-hitting Mullins starts against some lefties, but he'll take a seat Monday as the A's send southpaw Jacob Lopez to the bump. Jonny DeLuca will patrol center field.

Rays' Cam Booser: Tallies seventh hold
Booser picked up a hold Sunday against Seattle, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless seventh inning. He struck out two.
After struggling to a 5.52 ERA in 31 innings for the White Sox in 2025, the 34-year-old left-hander continues to serve as a legitimate weapon out of Tampa Bay's bullpen this season. Booser has a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over 26 frames while logging seven holds.

Rays' Chandler Simpson: Racks up four more hits
Simpson went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.
This was Simpson's fifth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. The double was also his first extra-base hit since July 24 versus the Guardians. The light-hitting outfielder is batting .304 with a .696 OPS, 31 stolen bases, 23 RBI, 48 runs scored, 12 doubles, six triples and no home runs across 110 contests this season.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Collects four hits
Diaz went 4-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.
Diaz and Chandler Simpson led the way with four hits apiece as the Rays used small ball effectively in this win. While Diaz has hit safely in just three of his seven games in August, those three performances have included multiple hits. He's 8-for-32 (.250 batting average) with two RBI this month, and he's batting .298 with an .821 OPS, 15 home runs, 65 RBI, 62 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases through 112 contests overall.

Rays' Steven Matz: Earns save against Mariners
Matz hit a batter but did not allow a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.
Matz has allowed one run over 8.2 innings since he returned from a sprained left ankle. This was his first save of the season, though he shouldn't be expected to factor into the late innings often -- he got the chance because Bryan Baker was rested Sunday after pitching the previous two days. Matz has filled a versatile role this year with a 5.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB through 61.2 innings over 21 games (10 starts). While the Rays' rotation is running a bit thin, Matz's usage out of the bullpen on consecutive days this weekend suggests he'll remain in a multi-inning relief role moving forward.

Rays' Ian Seymour: Earns third straight win
Seymour (9-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.
Seymour has won his last three outings (two starts), allowing just three runs over 16.2 innings with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. He had some ups and downs in July but looks to be getting on course as a starter after stretching out in the majors over the last couple of months. Seymour is at a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:30 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 38 games (nine starts) this season, though he's also had some bulk-relief assignments. The southpaw's next appearance is projected to be at home versus the Orioles, and he should have some security in the rotation while Shane McClanahan (back) and Griffin Jax (elbow) are on the injured list.

Rays' Steven Wilson: Clears waivers
The Rays outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
The 31-year-old righty looks set to remain in the organization after Tampa Bay designated him for assignment Thursday upon activating him from the 60-day injured list. Wilson had spent the entire season on the shelf after dealing with lumbar disc inflammation dating back to spring training, but he had pitched effectively over eight rehab appearances prior to being reinstated, permitting just two runs on two hits and four walks over nine innings.

Rays' Michael Grove: Back in majors
The Rays recalled Grove from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The right-hander was sent to Durham on Tuesday but will quickly return to the majors since Griffin Jax (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Grove has made two appearances for Tampa Bay this season and has given up two earned runs with a 4:0 K:BB over five innings.

Rays' Taylor Walls: Ready to go Sunday
Walls (back) will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday against the Mariners, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The 30-year-old was withheld from the starting nine in Saturday's 3-2 win due to lower-back tightness, but he'll rejoin the lineup for the series finale in Seattle. Walls is batting .103 (3-for-29) with four walks, three steals and 11 strikeouts in his past 12 games.

Rays' Griffin Jax: Lands on injured list
The Rays placed Jax (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Jax was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday versus the Mariners due to right elbow discomfort, so the move to the injured list isn't much of a surprise. The Rays are still looking to find more information regarding the severity injury, as Jax is scheduled to meet with a doctor in Dallas on Wednesday for a second opinion, per Ryan Bass of Rays.tv. The 31-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 21, though a longer absence could be in store given the nature of the injury.

Rays' Richie Palacios: On base three times in win
Palacios went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
Palacios' two-run single in the sixth inning ended up being the difference in the contest. The 29-year-old has gone 4-for-12 with four RBI over six games in August, and he's now started five straight games at second base. On the year, Palacios is batting .231 with a .682 OPS, five home runs, 10 steals, 34 RBI, 33 runs scored, nine doubles and two triples over 277 plate appearances.
