Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Set for normal start after break
Rasmussen is expected to handle a typical starter's workload when he makes his next turn through the rotation July 22 versus the White Sox in Tampa, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
In an effort to keep his season-long workload under 150 innings after he underwent his third major right elbow surgery in July 2023, Rasmussen was limited to three, two and two innings in his final three starts prior to the All-Star break. In the latter two outings, the Rays deployed Joe Boyle in bulk relief behind him, but Rasmussen looks like he'll be in line for a standalone start in his first appearance of the second half. With Rasmussen sitting at 91.1 innings on the season, the Rays are still likely to manage his workload to some degree over the next two and a half months, but he should remain usable in most fantasy leagues so long as he's covering around five or six frames in his starts. Rasmussen owns a modest 21.7 percent strikeout rate for the season but has provided an excellent 2.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP while gathering seven wins through 19 outings.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Meeting with doctor on tap
Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Rodriguez (forearm) has returned to Tampa and is scheduled to meet with a doctor Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Initially placed on the injured list June 11 due to a right forearm strain, Rodriguez was pulled from his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Durham on Friday after he experienced right elbow soreness and noticed a stark decline in velocity. The Rays will likely decide on a treatment plan for Rodriguez once he meets with a doctor, but as a result of the setback, he won't be on track to return from the IL coming out of the All-Star break.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Strikes out three in rehab start
McClanahan (triceps) struck out three batters and allowed one earned run on four hits and no walks over 1.2 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
After kicking off his rehab assignment Tuesday with a one-inning outing in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, McClanahan moved up to the Rays' top affiliate for his second outing. The 28-year-old southpaw needed 36 pitches just to record five outs, but he made use of all four of his offerings and averaged 94 miles per hour with his fastball. McClanahan will stick around with Durham and will likely make at least two more rehab starts before the Rays consider bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. He hasn't pitched in a game in the majors since Aug. 2, 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery later that year and then being shut down this spring due to left triceps nerve irritation.

Rays' Hunter Bigge: Cleared for 'low-effort' activity
The Rays announced June 30 that Bigge (lat/face) was cleared to resume "low-effort" baseball activities, MLB.com reports.
Initially placed on the injured list May 6 due to a right lat strain, Bigge suffered an unrelated setback June 19, when he was struck in the face by a line drive while he was watching a game from the dugout. Bigge sustained multiple fractures as a result of the incident and underwent surgery a day later before being released from the hospital. Though Bigge hasn't been shut down from activity, the Rays haven't indicated when he'll be ready to initiate a throwing program. The reliever still looks to be multiple weeks away from returning from the 15-day injured list.

Rays' James Quinn-Irons: Nabbed by Tampa Bay
The Rays have selected Quinn-Irons with the 147th overall pick of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Carrying a 6-foot-5 frame, Quinn-Irons totaled 16 homers and 36 steals with 85 RBI and 74 runs in 61 games for George Mason during the 2025 campaign. The outfielder encouragingly cut his strikeout rate more than 10 percentage points to 15.4 percent, though he's still likely to have some swing-and-miss at the professional level. He played center field in college but likely profiles as more of a right fielder going forward.

Rays' Dominic Fritton: Drafted by Rays
The Rays have selected Fritton with the 117th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Coming out of NC State, Fritton had an underwhelming 4.47 ERA in 17 starts as a junior in 2025, though he showed his strikeout potential with an 11.1 K/9. The 6-foot-1 lefty's 4.1 BB/9 illustrates some command concerns.

Rays' Taitn Gray: Drafted in third round
The Rays have selected Gray with the 86th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Gray is a high-upside prep catching prospect from Iowa. A 6-foot-4 switch hitter with plus raw power and average speed, Gray needs to work on his receiving, but he has very loud tools.

Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Suffers seventh loss
Pepiot (6-7) took the loss Sunday at Boston, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over six innings with three strikeouts.
Despite being stuck with the loss, Pepiot managed to notch his third consecutive quality start, pushing his season total to 13. The 27-year-old certainly did not have his sharpest stuff, as he managed to generate a subpar six whiffs out of his 88 total pitches. This performance also snapped a nine-start streak over which Pepiot had conceded five or fewer hits and pitched to a 2.60 ERA in 52 innings. Following this effort, the Tampa Bay right-hander enters the All-Star break with a 3.38 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 110:37 K:BB across 114.1 total frames.

Rays' Dean Moss: Drafted by Rays
The Rays have selected Moss with the 67th overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft.
Moss is already 19 and may not have the speed for center field or the power potential to fit in an outfield corner, but he has a strong track record of hitting. He grew up in California but moved to Florida to attend IMG Academy in eighth grade. Moss bats from the left side, so if he can add a bit more power or if he develops a plus-ot-better hit tool, he could at least occupy the strong side of a left-field platoon in the majors.

Rays' Cooper Flemming: Snagged by Rays
The Rays have selected Flemming with the 53rd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Flemming is a prep shortstop from California who bats from the left side. At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he has a projectable frame and could grow into average or better power. He has a chance to stick at shortstop but isn't a plus runner.

Rays' Brendan Summerhill: Selected by Rays
The Rays have selected Summerhill with the 42nd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Summerhill missed time this spring with minor injuries, but he managed just 14 home runs in 124 career games at Arizona. The best data point in his favor was his All-Star showing in the Cape Cod League last summer, where he slashed .286/.358/.440 with a wood bat while stealing 12 bases with two home runs in 24 games. This spring, Summerhill predictably mastered Big 12 pitching, slashing .343/.459/.556 with four home runs, 11 steals, a 17.4 percent walk rate and an 11.6 percent strikeout rate. He is an above-average runner with a chance to stick in center field, which would put less pressure on him to max out at the plate. At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Summerhill looks like he should be able to get to more power than he has thus far, so there could be some untapped potential with him, but there are some tweener characteristics if his glove isn't good enough for center field and he doesn't take a jump in the power department.

Rays' Daniel Pierce: Popped by Tampa Bay
The Rays have selected Pierce with the 14th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
A hard worker and coach's son who should be able to stick at shortstop, Pierce should get to the majors, but his eventual offensive impact is to be determined. He is a plus runner, which would be of use in fantasy even if he's hitting in the bottom third of a lineup. However, there's a chance he develops into a good enough hitter that he could hit top third on a second-division team. Evaluators are split on whether he's hit-over-power or power-over-hit, but he's probably not going to be plus in either department.

Rays' Ha-Seong Kim: X-rays clean
Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Red Sox that X-rays on Kim's left foot came back clean, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Kim went hitless in three at-bats during the contest.
In his seventh-inning plate appearance, Kim fouled a ball off his foot before ultimately striking out. He was then lifted from the game in the bottom of the inning, with Taylor Walls shifting over from second base to cover Kim's spot at shortstop. The Rays are viewing the infielder as day-to-day, and the hope is that he'll be ready to return to the lineup Friday against the Orioles in the team's first game out of the All-Star break.

Rays' Jose Caballero: Back on bench Sunday
Caballero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
After going 0-for-7 while picking up starts in right field and at second base over the past two days, Caballero will retreat to the bench. Though Brandon Lowe (oblique) was recently placed on the injured list, Taylor Walls could end up being prioritized at second base ahead of Caballero, who is regarded as an inferior defender and is slashing just .149/.267/.162 since the beginning of June. Despite his lack of a full-time role of late, Caballero still leads the majors with 31 stolen bases on the season.

Rays' Taylor Walls: Filling in at keystone
Walls will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Though he looked like he would lose out on playing time when shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was reinstated from the injured list July 3, Walls has proceeded to start eight of the Rays' ensuing 10 games. He initially benefited from Kim missing three straight starts due to a calf issue, but Walls now has opportunities available at the keystone after Brandon Lowe (oblique) was placed on the IL on Friday. Tampa Bay values Walls primarily for his defense, but he hasn't been a total zero at the plate thus far in July. He'll head into Sunday's contest with a .267 batting average, one home run and two steals through his first 10 games of the month.

Rays' Danny Jansen: Getting afternoon off
Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate while Jansen rests after starting at catcher in the Rays' previous two contests. Unless he's used off the bench Sunday, Jansen will wrap up Tampa Bay's first-half slate with a .207 average, nine home runs, 27 RBI and 24 runs over 66 games.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Works behind Rasmussen on Friday
Boyle struck out one batter and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
Boyle was once again used in tandem with Drew Rasmussen, who covered the first two innings. The Rays have made it clear that they intend to limit Rasmussen to around 150 innings this season since he's just two years removed from undergoing the third major elbow operation of his career, and Boyle is expected to piggyback him for at least a few more turns through the rotation. While his results Friday were unremarkable, Boyle has delivered excellent ratios overall between his stops in the majors and at Durham this season, and he'll have improved odds of earning wins while the Rays deploy him in bulk relief. Tampa Bay is listing Rasmussen as its starter for its fifth game of the second half July 22 versus the White Sox, so Boyle's next appearance will presumably come that same day.
