Alex Jackson - Pops second homer Jackson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a three-run home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Yankees.
Curtis Mead - Three hits in return to majors Mead went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Yankees.

It's unclear how long Diaz will be away from the team, but it's possible that Mead will continue to serve in a short-side platoon role at a combination of second and third base as well as designated hitter.

Curtis Mead - Recalled from Triple-A The Rays recalled Mead from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Impact Mead will rejoin the Rays as infield depth to replace Yandy Diaz (personal), who landed on the restricted list Saturday. Mead was optioned to Triple-A in early May after slashing .218/.269/.276 through 93 plate appearances, and he's since posted an .847 OPS in the minor leagues. He's unlikely to see regular playing time while with the Rays and will likely return to Durham once Diaz rejoins the team.
