Josh Lowe - Leaves early Thursday Lowe suffered a right knee contusion in Thursday's contest against the Cardinals, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Impact Lowe fouled a pitch off his right leg in the top of the first inning before ultimately striking out in what ended up being his only at-bat. The outfielder exited the contest before the bottom of the frame and subsequently underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Lowe should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Jose Siri - Not starting Thursday Siri isn't in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's game against St. Louis, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Despite putting together a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 6-for-18 and stolen two bases, Siri will get a day off for Thursday's series finale. While he rests, Josh Lowe, Jonny DeLuca and Dylan Carlson will start across the Rays' outfield.

José Caballero - Taking seat Thursday Caballero isn't in the Rays' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Caballero will get a day to rest Thursday after recording a hit and stealing a base in each of the first two games of the series. His absence will allow Curtis Mead to pick up a start at the hot corner while batting ninth.

Hunter Bigge - Optioned to Triple-A The Rays optioned Bigge to Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The 26-year-old righty will be squeezed out of the big-league bullpen as Richard Lovelady (forearm) returns from the injured list. Bigge has given up just one earned run in 7.1 MLB innings this season, and he has not been scored upon in four frames since joining the Rays.

Richard Lovelady - Activated from injured list The Rays activated Lovelady (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Lovelady has been on the sidelines since early June with a flexor strain, but he's been cleared to return after making 11 rehab appearances, the last six of which were scoreless. Hunter Bigge has been sent down in a corresponding move.

José Caballero - Nabs steal in loss Caballero went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Caballero has five steals over his last eight games despite going hitless in five of those contests. He's just 4-for-24 (.167) with two RBI in that span. The speedy infielder is 30-for-42 on the basepaths this season while adding a middling .231/.290/.353 slash line, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple over 95 contests. While Caballero isn't swinging a particularly hot bat, he looks to be the primary option for the Rays at third base, though he filled in for Taylor Walls at shortstop in Wednesday's game.

Taj Bradley - Dealt sixth loss Bradley (6-6) allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Cardinals.
Impact This was the third time all year Bradley has given up at least five runs. He's given up nine runs across his last 9.2 innings, taking losses in each of his last two starts after posting a 20-inning scoreless streak over three outings before that. The 23-year-old still has an impressive 3.07 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 106:31 K:BB across 91 innings over 16 starts, but there's always the risk of a young pitcher wearing down late in the year. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Astros.

Jonny DeLuca - Heading to bench Wednesday DeLuca is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact DeLuca had started in three of the Rays' last four matchups with right-handers but will head to the bench Wednesday while the Cardinals send righty Erick Fedde to the hill. Dylan Carlson will pick up a start in left field in DeLuca's stead.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Walls - Heading to bench Wednesday Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Walls will get a breather Wednesday after he had started in each of the previous three games while going 1-for-10 at the dish, bringing his average down to a lowly .148 for the season. Jose Caballero will step in at shortstop for Walls, who is valued for his defense but could still be at risk of moving into more of a utility role if he's unable to start offering more production at the plate.

Ben Rortvedt - Getting rest Wednesday Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Rortvedt had started at catcher in each of the Rays' last three games, so his absence Wednesday is most likely a maintenance day. Alex Jackson gets the nod behind the plate.
