Josh Lowe - Back in action Saturday Lowe (knee) will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Lowe fouled a ball off his right knee during Thursday's game and missed a start Friday, though he was able to enter as a pinch hitter. He'll now return to the starting nine Saturday and look to stay hot after going 6-for-18 with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored since the start of August.

Jose Siri - Out of Saturday's lineup Siri isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact After going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener, Siri will give way to Jonny DeLuca in center field.

Taylor Walls - Resting Saturday Walls isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Walls owns a .157/.283/.198 through 145 plate appearances on the season, and he'll step out of the lineup against the formidable Corbin Burnes. Jose Caballero will shift to shortstop in Walls' place while Curtis Mead starts at the hot corner.

Ben Rortvedt - Not starting Saturday Rortvedt isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Rortvedt will get a chance to regroup Saturday after going 5-for-22 with nine strikeouts to begin the month of August. Alex Jackson will start instead behind the plate and bat ninth.

Drew Rasmussen - Serving as opener Saturday Rasmussen is slated to serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

Impact After returning from the 60-day injured list Wednesday upon completing his recovery from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July, Rasmussen was summoned from the bullpen later that evening and was electric in his 2024 MLB debut, striking out three Cardinals batters over two perfect innings. Though the Rays intend to have Rasmussen slot back into the rotation in 2025, he's expected to be limited mostly to 1-to-2-inning appearances coming out of the bullpen for the rest of the current season. Though he's technically starting Saturday, Rasmussen is unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before turning the game over to lefty Tyler Alexander, who is expected to operate as a bulk reliever.

Ryan Pepiot - Slated for rehab start Saturday Pepiot (knee) is scheduled to make a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Montgomery, MLB.com reports.

Impact Pepiot has been on the shelf since July 21 with an infection in his right knee that had stemmed from a spider bite, but after the swelling in his knee subsided, he was able to complete a bullpen session before tossing a three-inning simulated game earlier this week. The right-hander looked to be a candidate to return from the injured list to take the mound Saturday against the Orioles, but the Rays will instead have him report to Montgomery for what's expected to be a one-start rehab assignment. Manager Kevin Cash said Pepiot is likely to throw 65-to-75 pitches in Saturday's rehab outing.

Zack Littell - Falls to Baltimore Littell (5-8) took the loss Friday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact After surrendering a home run to Colton Cowser to lead off the game, Littell managed to settle in and keep Baltimore off the board until the fifth, when Ryan O'Hearn drove in two more runs with a two-out single. The 28-year-old Littell had won back-to-back starts prior to Friday, allowing just one run in 12.2 innings. Overall, the right-hander sports a 4.11 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB across 124.2 innings this season. Littell's currently slated for a home matchup with the Astros next week in his next outing.

Josh Lowe - Idle Friday Lowe (knee) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Lowe fouled a ball off his right knee in the first inning of Thursday's game and was removed shortly after. With his X-rays coming back negative, Lowe can be considered day-to-day moving forward. Dylan Carlson, Jose Siri and Jonny DeLuca fill the outfield from left to right Friday.

Pete Fairbanks - Secures 22nd save Fairbanks picked up the save over the Cardinals on Thursday, pitching a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Fairbanks took the mound with a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and retired the side on just eight pitches to lock down his 22nd save of the season. The right-handed reliever is yet to allow a baserunner in three appearances this month and he's now converted his last 12 save opportunities. Fairbanks has only surrendered one hit over his last six innings (six appearances) while posting four strikeouts over that stretch.

Shane Baz - Struggles early in no-decision Baz did not factor into the decision in a win over the Cardinals on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings while striking out two.

Impact Baz got beat up in the first inning after walking the leadoff man and then hitting Wilson Contreras with a pitch two batters later, eventually allowing three runs to come across in the frame. The right-hander was then tagged for another run in the third after allowing three consecutive batters to reach with two outs, and would fail to make it through five innings for the third time in six starts this season. Baz's two strikeouts on the night marked his second-lowest total of the season in that category and he's now issued multiple free passes in three of his last four outings. The rookie will look to secure his first win of the season when the Rays take on the Astros at home next week.
