Randy Arozarena - Gets Saturday off Arozarena will sit Saturday against Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Francisco Mejía - Out of lineup Mejia will sit Saturday against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Mejia returned from a shoulder injury Friday and went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks. He won't be asked to start on consecutive days right away, so Christian Bethancourt will take over behind the plate.

Taylor Walls - Reaches base four times Walls went 1-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored Friday against the Tigers.
Impact Walls has started 11 of 14 games since the All-Star break, though Friday's effort marked only the third time he's reached base multiple times in that span. While he's maintained only a .139 average across those 11 starts, he's managed to score seven runs thanks to an 18.2 percent walk rate. Overall, Walls has a .548 OPS across 312 plate appearances this season, but he has been the regular starting shortstop since Wander Franco (wrist) has been sidelined.

Corey Kluber - Coughs up three runs Kluber yielded three runs on seven hits over six innings in Friday's win over Detroit. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
Impact All three runs that scored on Kluber came in the first two innings, including Riley Greene's two-run homer in the second frame. The 6-foot-4 righty was in line to take the loss before Tampa Bay completed the comeback victory. He had coughed up 12 runs over his previous three starts and now owns a 4.05 ERA through 21 starts. Kluber is projected to face the Orioles at home next week.

Colin Poche - Picks up seventh save Poche yielded a hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday, striking out one and earning a save over the Tigers.
Impact Poche had two runners on base with two outs but he managed to strike out Riley Greene to preserve the 5-3 win. The 6-foot-3 southpaw picked up his first save since July 13 after blowing his previous two opportunities. He's now sporting a 3.00 ERA and a 35:14 K:BB through 39 appearances.

In 15 games since returning from the injured list, the 28-year-old has gone 21-for-60 (.350) with eight extra-base hits and 10 RBI. He improved his season slash line to .258/.328/.472 with 20 extra-base hits through 198 plate appearances.

Jose Siri - Not starting Friday Siri is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Detroit, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Siri started the past three games after being acquired from the Astros earlier this week, and he'll take a seat after going 2-for-11 with a double, a run, a stolen base and seven strikeouts. Roman Quinn will start in center field and bat eighth.

Ralph Garza Jr. - Returns to minors Garza was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Garza made three appearances since being promoted July 27 and gave up one run on four hits with two strikeouts and a walk across four innings. Jimmy Yacabonis was added to the 26-man roster after being claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

René Pinto - Sent to minors Pinto was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The 25-year-old was promoted in late July when Francisco Mejia (shoulder) landed on the 10-day IL, and Pinto will return to Triple-A after Mejia was reinstated Friday. Pinto has appeared in 22 games for Tampa Bay this year and has a .206/.239/.309 slash line and 43.7 percent strikeout rate in 71 plate appearances.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Francisco Mejía - Returns from injured list Mejia (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Mejia made one rehab appearance with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate this week and has been cleared to rejoin the big-league roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf. The 26-year-old should step in as Tampa Bay's primary backstop since Mike Zunino (shoulder) is out for the year.

Kyle Manzardo - On power binge in High-A Manzardo has hit six home runs while batting .444 over his last 10 games for High-A Bowling Green and is now up to 17 long balls with a .326/.429/.633 batting line on the season.
Impact Manzardo came into this season with concerns about his power potential -- especially relative to the expectations at first base -- but he's been quieting the naysayers. The combination of power and plate discipline is fantasy gold, and that's exactly what Manzardo has offered this year, as his walk rate (16 percent) isn't far behind his strikeout rate (17.2 percent). The 22-year-old will need to maintain this sort of performance at the higher levels of the minors, of course, and he could conceivably get that opportunity soon.
