AUSTIN MEADOWS NEWS

Receives day off Meadows is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact With southpaw Kyle Hart on the bump for the Red Sox, Rays manager Kevin Cash has elected to give the lefty-hitting Meadows his second day off since the outfielder was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Aug. 4. Meadows hasn't missed a beat since returning to action, going 9-for-33 (.273 average) with a home run, three doubles, a triple, six runs, four RBI and a stolen base through his first nine games. Yoshi Tsutsugo will spell Meadows in left field in the series finale.

On board with first homer Meadows went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Meadows entered Wednesday's game with five hits -- including three doubles -- in his last four games, but he had yet to clear the fence this season. That changed in the top of the ninth with his homer off Ryan Weber. Meadows already has a steal and seems to be heating up after missing the start of the season due to a positive COVID-19 test.

On base four times Monday Meadows went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Red Sox on Monday. He was also caught stealing on another attempt.

Impact As his line indicates, Meadows was extremely busy Monday, serving as an agitator to Red Sox pitching throughout the night. The 25-year-old outfielder has bounced back nicely from a brief 0-for-9 slump that encompassed three games in the latter portion of last week, as Meadows is now 5-for-12 with three doubles, Monday's pair of walks, two RBI, Monday's steal and a run in his last three contests.

Two RBI in nightcap Meadows went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and two RBI in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Impact The 25-year-old was on the bench for the matinee and fouled out as a pinch hitter, but he returned to the leadoff spot for the nightcap and powered the Rays' offense. Meadows returned from the injured list this week and is 4-for-17 with two runs, three RBI and five strikeouts in five games.
