ImpactWacha allowed the Yankees to begin their comeback by serving up a two-run home run to Gio Urshela shortly after entering in the third inning, and as evidenced by his final line, he struggled with control overall. The right-hander's first two regular-season appearances have bore zero resemblance to his excellent spring, as Wacha career-long issues with location have surfaced in the form of five walks over his first nine innings, during which he's also already surrendered 11 hits. He'll look to bounce back in what will likely be a conventional start his next turn through the rotation, potentially Friday night on the road against the Yankees.

Solid start to seasonBrosseau, who went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Yankees on Sunday, has hit safely in four the five games he's appeared in.

ImpactThe versatile Brosseau has already logged time at first base, second base and both corner outfield spots, and he's making his usual solid contributions at the plate as well over an early small sample of 15 plate appearances. Brosseau's reliable bat and defense should continue to afford him regular playing time as the season unfolds.

Heads to benchDiaz is not in the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactThe Rays' heavy rotation policy won't be changing any time soon, though Diaz has managed to find himself in the lineup far more often than not. He'll sit Monday for just the second time in the season's first 10 games. Yoshi Tsutsugo will start at first base in his absence.

Clears waiversOdom will remain in the Rays organization after he went unclaimed off waivers Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactThe 29-year-old backstop will report to the Rays' alternate site after accepting an outright assignment. After earning a spot on Tampa Bay's Opening Day roster, Odom appeared in two games before he was cast off the 40-man roster over the weekend.

Called up by RaysRichards was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

ImpactRichards was sent to Triple-A Durham prior to Opening Day after he allowed eight runs in 7.1 innings this spring. Richards has experience as a starter and long reliever in the majors, and he could fill in as a member of the rotation after Chris Archer (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.
