Drew Rasmussen - Operates as opener Sunday Rasmussen took a no-decision in his start during Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins, striking out two while allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks.
Impact Though the Rays didn't make a formal announcement regarding their plans for Rasmussen heading into the day, the right-hander ended up serving as a glorified opener in what was his shortest start of the season in terms of both innings and pitches (32). Tampa Bay called up Joe Boyle from Triple-A Durham ahead of Sunday's contest and used him in bulk relief behind Rasmussen, with the righty giving up one unearned run over five innings. The Rays' exact plans for Rasmussen moving forward aren't known, but because he's already accrued 89.1 innings on the season and is only two years removed from the third major right elbow surgery of his career, it wouldn't be surprising if Boyle piggybacked Rasmussen in his next turn through the rotation next weekend in Boston. With a 7-2 record, 2.82 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 18 outings, Rasmussen has thus far been a screaming value for his draft-day investors, but if 2-to-4-inning starts become the norm for him, he would lose a significant amount of fantasy appeal.

Yandy Díaz - Doubles, scores twice Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's extra-inning win over Minnesota.
Impact Diaz started the day 0-for-3 before singling and scoring a run in the eighth inning. He then ripped an RBI double and scored again in the 10th. After six straight games with multiple hits in late June, Diaz has produced four multi-hit performances over his last 11 appearances. The veteran slugger is now slashing .289/.345/.472 with 33 extra-base hits and 52 RBI through 84 games.

Joe Boyle - Piggybacks Rasmussen on Sunday Boyle struck out seven and allowed one unearned run on two hits and one walk over five innings of relief in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Impact Called up earlier in the day after delivering a 1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings with Triple-A Durham on the season, Boyle wasn't immediately inserted into the Tampa Bay rotation. Instead, manager Kevin Cash essentially deployed Boyle as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind right-hander Drew Rasmussen, who was limited to two innings as an opener. Considering Rasmussen underwent an internal brace procedure -- the third major elbow surgery of his career -- in July 2023 and is already up to 89.1 innings on the season, the Rays could look to manage his workload in the short term by deploying him in tandem with Boyle. Even though Boyle's role is somewhat in flux at the moment, the dominance he's displayed in the minors and in his two appearances (one start) in the big leagues (0.00 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, 14 strikeouts in 10 innings) makes him worthy of picking up in most leagues where he's available.

Eric Orze - Secures save Sunday Orze allowed an unearned run in one inning during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Twins. He walked one batter and earned a save.
Impact Orze entered the 10th inning with a 7-4 lead and closed things out without much trouble aside from the automatic runner coming around to score. It was his first save since May 9 and he's converted each of his three chances this season. Orze owns a 2.79 ERA with a 35:13 K:BB across 38.2 innings this season. Pete Fairbanks threw 1.2 innings and earned a win Sunday.

Pete Fairbanks - Moves to 4-2 Fairbanks (4-2) allowed a hit over 1.2 scoreless innings and picked up a win during Sunday's extra-inning victory against Minnesota. He struck out one.
Impact Fairbanks recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning after Mason Montgomery allowed a game-tying home run to Harrison Bader. Fairbanks then tossed a scoreless ninth to send the game to extras. It was his first win since May 10 and he hasn't earned a save since June 26. Fairbanks dropped his ERA to 2.34 with a 30:14 K:BB through 34.2 frames.

Brandon Lowe - Tweaks side Sunday Lowe struck out in his lone at-bat in Sunday's game against the Twins before he was removed in the third inning due to left side soreness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times report...
Impact The Rays didn't clarify whether Lowe suffered the injury during his first-inning at-bat or during his two innings in the field. According to Topkin, Jose Caballero had been scheduled to receive Sunday off while he dealt with right arm soreness, but he was pressed into action at second base following Lowe's early exit. Consider Lowe day-to-day until Tampa Bay provides another update on his status.

José Caballero - Scratched due to arm soreness Caballero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins due to right arm soreness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was penciled in to start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale at Minnesota, but he instead ended up being scratched due to the arm issue. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, so Caballero should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus Detroit. Taylor Walls replaced him in the lineup at shortstop.
