Rays' Richie Palacios: Out with knee injury
The Rays will place Palacios on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a knee injury, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
The 27-year-old was reinstated from the IL on Thursday after missing the start of the campaign due to a fractured right ring finger, but he apparently tweaked his knee while going 3-for-4 with a double, a run and a stolen base in his season debut. According to Bass, manager Kevin Cash said the injury is similar to the one Palacios dealt with last season, which sidelined him for all of August and most of September. He's without an official timeline for his return but seems likely spend more than the 10-day minimum on the IL.

Rays' Chandler Simpson: Getting call to big leagues
The Rays will call up Simpson from Triple-A Durham, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
The most prolific base stealer in the minors, Simpson swiped 104 bags between High-A Bowling Green and Double-A Montgomery last season and had already stolen eight bases this year with Durham. Simpson has no power and it's fair to question how much he'll ultimately hit, but his difference-making ability as a base stealer makes him a must-add in fantasy leagues. Manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Simpson is "going to get an opportunity here and a little bit of a runway."

Rays' Junior Caminero: Power surge continues vs. Yankees
Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
Caminero belted his fifth long ball of the young season in the third inning, pushing the Rays in front 3-1. The former top prospect has left the yard in four of his last six games, and he's slashing a promising .288/.324/.545 with two doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored through his first 71 plate appearances of the campaign.

Rays' Richie Palacios: Big impact in season debut
Palacios went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
Fresh off the injured list and making his season debut, Palacios doubled in his first at-bat of the game en route to a three-hit night. With Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) and Josh Lowe (oblique) both sidelined, the lefty-hitting Palacios should see fairly steady reps in the outfield for the near future.

Rays' Taj Bradley: Falters in first loss Thursday
Bradley (2-1) took the loss Thursday against the Yankees after allowing six runs on nine hits and four walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
Bradley ran into immediate danger Thursday, giving up three hits before recording a single out, but he held the Yankees to just one run in the first inning. The right-hander then faltered while giving up five runs across the fifth and sixth innings, two of which came via inherited runners by Manuel Rodriguez after Bradley was relieved. The 24-year-old has already delivered two quality starts this season, but the 10 runs he's surrendered in his other two outings have resulted in an inflated 5.24 ERA.

Rays' Christopher Morel: Getting breather Thursday
Morel isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Morel will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after making 10 consecutive starts, during which he slashed .289/.341/.447 over 41 plate appearances. His absence will give Richie Palacios (finger) a chance to make his season debut in left field after spending the first several weeks of the season on the injured list.

Rays' Danny Jansen: Sitting down Thursday
Jansen isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Jansen will grab a seat on the bench in Thursday's series opener after going just 1-for-11 over his last four games. Ben Rortvedt will catch for Taj Bradley as a result and bat eighth.

Rays' Richie Palacios: Returns from IL
The Rays reinstated Palacios (finger) from the injured list Thursday.
Palacios landed on the injured list at the start of the season due to a fracture in his right ring finger that he suffered toward the end of spring training. He began a rehab assignment Saturday and played four games between the Rays' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates, during which he went 3-for-14 with an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Now cleared to return to action for the big club, the 27-year-old will replace Coco Montes on the active roster and is likely to spend time in the outfield while Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) and Josh Lowe (oblique) are both out.

Rays' Coco Montes: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Montes to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Richie Palacios (finger), who was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday. Montes is 2-for-10 at the dish during his brief time with the big club in 2025.

Rays' Zack Littell: Another tough-luck loss Wednesday
Littell (0-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Red Sox after allowing one run on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Wednesday marked the second time already this year that the right-hander was charged with the loss despite firing six innings of one-run ball. David Hamilton's third-inning solo home run wouldn't have been a homer in any other MLB ballpark, according to Statcast, and Littell also notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning. Despite carrying a respectable 1.26 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 23 innings (four starts) in 2025, Littell's 5.48 ERA makes him tough to trust from a fantasy perspective in Arizona for his next turn through the rotation.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Sitting vs. southpaw
Misner is not in the Rays' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Wednesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
With the Red Sox sending southpaw Sean Newcomb to the mound for Wednesday's series finale, Misner will be on the bench to begin the game while Christopher Morel, Jake Mangum and Jose Caballero man the outfield. Misner has reached base safely in each of his last five games, going 7-for-17 with two walks, one stolen base, five runs scored, two home runs and four RBI over that span.

Rays' Brandon Lowe: Sitting versus lefty
Lowe is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Lowe started Opening Day versus a lefty but has been absent from the lineup each of the three times the Rays have faced a southpaw since then. Coco Montes will play second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's series finale.

Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Grabbing seat versus lefty
Aranda is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Red Sox.
It's southpaw Sean Newcomb on the bump for the Red Sox, so the lefty-hitting Aranda will yield to the right-handed-batting Curtis Mead at first base. Aranda has been absent from the lineup all four times the Rays have faced a lefty this season.

Rays' Ian Seymour: Dominating at Triple-A
Seymour has a 2.40 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB in 15 innings across three starts for Triple-A Durham.
The only Triple-A pitcher with a higher swinging-strike rate than Seymour (19.4 percent) is Spencer Strider (22.6 percent), who was completing a rehab assignment. Seymour is a lefty with a deceptive three-quarters delivery and a knack for keeping hitters off balance by changing speeds and landing all of his pitches for strikes. His fastball has averaged 89.6 mph (touched 91.6 mph) and he has thrown his changeup as much or more than his fastball while mixing in his cutter and seldom-used curveball and sweeper. Seymour is already on the 40-man roster and could join the big-league rotation whenever there is a need.
