Kiermaier, Zunino out for rest of season BALTIMORE — Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier and All-Star catcher Mike Zunino will both miss the remainder of the season, it was re...
Kevin Kiermaier - Requires season-ending surgery Kiermaier will undergo hip labrum surgery that will force him to miss the remainder of the season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Kiermaier was placed on the injured list July 10 and was transferred to the 60-day IL less than a week later. He wasn't eligible to return until at least mid-September but will be held out for the remainder of the year due to his procedure. The 32-year-old appeared in 63 games for the Rays in 2022 and slashed .228/.281/.369 with seven homers, 28 runs, 22 RBI and six stolen bases. He has a $13 million team option for the 2023 season, but it's possible that he'll become a free agent during the offseason after spending the last nine years in Tampa Bay.

Impact He'll be making his third consecutive start after going 1-for-5 with a pair of walks and RBI in the past two contests while getting looks at first base and in left field.

Springs lowered his season ERA to 2.50 with a 72:15 K:BB through 68.1 frames. However, over his last four starts, he's posted a 5.30 ERA across 18.2 innings. Springs is lined up to face Cleveland at home next week.

Impact Diaz drilled a solo shot off of Kris Bubic in the third inning, ending a 56-game homerless drought. He later doubled and scored a run in the sixth. The 30-year-old was in a 3-for-24 (.125) slump since his last multi-hit game July 11.

Jeffrey Springs - Reinstated from IL, starting Sunday Springs (lower leg) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and is starting Sunday versus the Royals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact As expected, Springs is back from the IL and is starting for the first time since July 5 after dealing with tightness in his lower right leg. The left-hander has been impressive this season, posting a 2.53 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 70 punchouts over 64 innings in 19 appearances, including 11 starts.

Ryan Yarbrough - Takes fifth loss Yarbrough (0-5) allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across four innings to take the loss Saturday against the Royals.
Impact Yarbrough entered the game in the fifth inning, following Luis Patino. Yarbrough held the Royals scoreless through his first three frames of work but gave up a pair of homers in the eighth inning to account for all of the damage against him. Yarbrough has struggled across two appearances since being recalled by the Rays on July 16, allowing five earned runs, 11 hits and two walks across 9.1 innings.
JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Roman Quinn - Productive start with Rays Quinn went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBI on Saturday against the Royals.
Impact Quinn signed with the Rays on Thursday and made his first start with the team Saturday, hitting ninth while playing right field. He delivered a two-RBI triple in the seventh inning to knot the game at three. Even with a number of outfielders currently sidelined in Tampa Bay, Quinn will likely find it difficult to remain in the starting lineup consistently.

Luis Patiño - Optioned to Triple-A Patino was optioned to Triple-A Durham following his start Saturday against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Patino pitched four innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three in a no-decision versus the Royals. The right-hander will now head to Durham to open a roster spot for Jeffrey Springs (leg) to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's series finale. Patino owns a 6.75 ERA over three starts with the Rays this season and will look to get back into a groove in Triple-A.

Luis Patiño - Decent against Royals Patino allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Saturday.
Impact The runs against Patino came in the third inning, but the Rays were able to get him off the hook in the seventh. In his second start back from an oblique injury that kept him out for three months, the right-hander was able to stretch out to 72 pitches (41 strikes), up from 56 pitches in his previous outing. He struggled against a weak-hitting opponent, and Patino now has a 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 3:4 K:BB across eight innings in three appearances this season.
