Impact Lowe was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the contest and was removed in the sixth frame with what was initially deemed a right foot contusion. However, further evaluation showed that Lowe actually sustained a broken toe. Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Lowe isn't expected to require an IL stint at this point.

Richie Palacios - Sitting Saturday Palacios is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact Despite Pittsburgh sending right-hander Jared Jones to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Palacios will begin the contest in the dugout. Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Josh Lowe will man the outfield Saturday, while Brandon Lowe serves as the designated hitter.

Electrifying Jose Siri is giving Rays some better things to talk about A commitment to concentration and focus has paid off for the athletic and entertaining centerfielder.
JUNE 22 • TAMPABAY.COM
Jose Siri - Scores three runs Siri went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and a walk Friday against the Pirates.
Impact Siri has hit well across the last two weeks, delivering six multi-hit performances in 13 starts. He's also homered four times in that span and tacked on an additional four extra-base hits. It was expected that Siri would primarily contribute stolen bases from a fantasy perspective, but despite swiping only one bag since April 6 he has found ways to be productive, particularly of late.

Ben Rortvedt - Big day in rout Rortvedt went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.
Impact The backstop put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's rout by taking Daulton Jefferies deep in the ninth inning. Rortvedt only has two homers on the year, but both have come in his last four games as part of an impressive June that has seen him slash .314/.368/.571 in 38 plate appearances. His strong-side platoon role limits his fantasy upside, but the 26-year-old appears to be on his way to a career-best campaign.

Ryan Pepiot - Early exit in no-decision Pepiot came away with a no-decision in Friday's 10-3 win over the Pirates, giving up two runs on three hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Despite the impressive offensive support, Pepiot wasn't efficient enough to qualify for his fifth win of the year and got the hook after 74 pitches (41 strikes). The right-hander tied his season high with the four free passes, while the three strikeouts tied his season low. Through four starts in June, he's stumbled to a 6.30 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB through 20 innings, and Friday's outing was his first this month in which he didn't serve up a homer. Pepiot will look to turn things around in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mariners.
