Rays' Shane Baz: Pushed back to Monday
Baz will no longer start Sunday's game against Atlanta as planned and will instead make his next turn through the rotation Monday versus the Red Sox in Tampa, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays are in the midst of a busy period in their schedule, so the team has elected to temporarily add a sixth man to the rotation. Joe Boyle was recalled from Triple-A Durham and will take the hill Sunday, and he will either shift to the bullpen or head back to the minors after the game. Baz now lines up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second turn potentially coming next Saturday at home versus the Yankees.

Rays' Cole Sulser: Heading back to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Sulser to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.
Sulser's stint with the big club lasted just two days, with the right-hander making his lone appearance in a 5-4 loss to Atlanta on Saturday, when he was the pitcher of record after giving up two earned runs on four hits and one walk over one inning of relief. In a corresponding move, Tampa Bay recalled right-hander Joe Boyle from Triple-A in advance of his start in Sunday's series finale.

Rays' Joe Boyle: Called up, starting Sunday
The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Tampa Bay doesn't have an opening in its rotation, but Boyle will be called upon to take the hill Sunday in order to provide the team's other five starters with an additional day of rest. The right-hander was unable to secure a roster spot with the Rays coming out of spring training, but he'll get a call-up after allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 over eight innings across his two starts with Durham. However, the control problems that plagued him during his 13 appearances (10 starts) with the Athletics last season once again cropped up at Durham, as Boyle has walked six of the 35 batters he has faced in the minors.

Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Strikes out seven in no-decision
Rasmussen did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta, allowing four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over five scoreless innings.
Rasmussen was sharp, generating 10 whiffs on 80 pitches and exiting with a 2-0 lead before the Rays' bullpen let it slip away. He has been dominant to open the season, posting a 0.60 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 15 innings. The only knock on the 29-year-old so far is his workload, as he has yet to pitch beyond the fifth frame in any of his three starts. Even so, he'll aim to stay hot in a home matchup with the Yankees next week.

Rays' Jonathan Aranda: Perfect at plate in loss
Aranda went 3-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and two walks in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Atlanta.
Aranda was a force at the plate, reaching base in all five trips and driving in runs in the third, seventh and ninth innings. He's off to a scorching start, hitting .378 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored across 44 plate appearances. The 26-year-old boasts a 95.7 mph average exit velocity this season and has only been limited by a platoon role, logging just five plate appearances against left-handed pitching.

Rays' Kameron Misner: Scores twice, swipes bag
Misner went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a double and a stolen base Friday against Atlanta.
Misner remains in a strong-side platoon role with Jonny DeLuca (shoulder) sidelined, although Richie Palacios (finger) appears to be nearing a return. Nonetheless, Misner is reaching base consistently, collecting at least one hit in eight of his 10 starts. Most impressively, Misner has struck out at just a 16.3 percent clip after striking out at around a 30 percent rate in the upper levels of the minors.

Rays' Christopher Morel: Blast first homer of 2025
Morel went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and another run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over Atlanta.
Morel registered his first moonshot of the season when he took Bryce Elder deep for a 387-foot solo homer to left field in the sixth frame to give the Rays a three-run lead. It was Morel's second multi-hit game of the year, and he's logged a hit in five of his last seven outings, during which he's gone 7-for-23 with four runs scored, two walks, one home run and two RBI.

Rays' Danny Jansen: Drives in four runs
Jansen went 3-for-4 with one home run and four RBI in Friday's 6-3 win over Atlanta.
Jansen gave the Rays the lead in the fourth inning when he took Bryce Elder deep for a 358-foot, two-run home run to left field. Jansen drove in additional runs in the sixth and eighth frames, and his four RBI on Friday were his most in a game since May 20, 2024 against the White Sox (five). It was a bounce-back performance for the veteran catcher, who started the season 1-for-26 with five walks and six strikeouts prior to Friday's contest.

Rays' Taj Bradley: Fans seven for second win
Bradley (2-0) earned the win against Atlanta on Friday. He allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings.
Bradley's lone run allowed came on Matt Olson RBI single in the first inning. The 24-year-old right-hander settled in after the first frame, retiring 15 of the next 17 batters he faced while striking out five over that span. Bradley has logged two quality starts so far, and across his three outings he's posted a 4.40 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 14.1 innings. His next start is tentatively lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.
