  • Gets breather
    Palacios is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Palacios has been an everyday starter for the Rays lately with Jose Siri dealing with a suspension and Josh Lowe (hamstring) on the 10-day IL. However, the newly recalled Johnny DeLuca will fill in at center field Friday. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Rays activate Jonny DeLuca from the IL
    Rays activated Jonny DeLuca (hand) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: DeLuca had been out since early March, but had a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham last week where he went 0-for-4 with an RBI. The 25-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Dodgers where he had an average .740 OPS across 45 plate appearances. He’ll likely make his Rays debut sometime this weekend.

  • Rays option René Pinto to Triple-A
    Rays optioned C René Pinto to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Pinto will head back to the minors after recently losing playing time to Ben Rortvedt. The 27-year-old backstop has slashed .214/.292/.429 with two homers and six RBI in his 49 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Rays option Niko Goodrum to Triple-A
    Rays optioned INF Niko Goodrum to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Goodrum will head down to the minors after he put together just four hits in his 37 plate appearances with the Rays this season. The 32-year-old was added to the Rays in a trade with the Twins at the beginning of the season as infield depth, but he hasn’t made the mark he nor the Rays hoped he could.

  • Rays designate Colby White for assignment
    Rays designated RHP Colby White for assignment.

    Advice: The 24-year-old right-hander had a miserable showing this season at the Triple-A level with a 17.61 ERA across 7 2/3 innings. White had Tommy John surgery two years ago that made him miss most of the 2023 season, but he showed promise when he did return. If anything, maybe he just needs a fresh start with a new club.

  • Sent back to minors
    The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Barger struggled during his first stint in the big leagues, going just 1-for-18 with a 6:0 K:BB. He'll go back to playing every day with Buffalo while Nathan Lukes takes his spot on Toronto's roster. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Joins big club
    The Blue Jays recalled Lukes from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    Advice: The 29-year-old missed out on Toronto's Opening Day roster but will join the big-league club a month into the season. Lukes had a .284/.348/.432 slash line through 20 games for Buffalo this season and will provide outfield depth with Kevin Kiermaier (hip) on the injured list. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Back from injury
    DeLuca (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: DeLuca has missed the first month-plus of 2024 after fracturing his right hand on a hit-by-pitch in spring training, but after a six-game rehab stint at Triple-A Durham, DeLuca will join the big-league roster. The 25-year-old batted .300 in 25 plate appearances and walked four times with one strikeout at Durham. He'll immediately step into the lineup and is starting in center field and batting eighth Friday versus the Mets. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Sent down to Durham
    Pinto was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Pinto will get an opportunity to re-find his swing at Triple-A after going 2-for-16 (.125) in his last eight games. Alex Jackson was called up in a corresponding move to act as the Rays' secondary catcher. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
