TAMPA BAY RAYS NEWS

Ryan Pepiot - Falls to Detroit Pepiot (8-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact While Pepiot struggled with command a bit Tuesday, matching a season high with four walks, he managed to hold Detroit scoreless until Wenceel Perez's two-out, two-run double in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old right-hander has held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings, posting a 2.71 ERA in that span (63 innings). Pepiot's ERA now sits at 3.64 through 126 innings this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 137:46 K:BB. He'll look to wrap up the campaign on a high note in his next and final outing, currently scheduled for this weekend in Boston.

Trevor Harrison - Strong first season Harrison logged a 3.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 48 strikeouts and 18 walks in 40 innings across nine starts for Single-A Charleston.

Impact A 6-foot-4 righty who turned 19 in August, Harrison received just under $850,000 after the Rays selected him in the fifth round last year and he didn't debut until this season. His 11 percent walk rate in the Carolina League was on the high side, but Harrison demonstrated a high ceiling in his full-season debut. He has excellent size and his fastball already sits in the mid-90s with late life. Harrison's changeup is probably his best secondary offering. Improving his breaking balls and control will be top priorities in coming seasons.

Josh Lowe - Out against left-hander Lowe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Detroit.

Impact With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for the Tigers, the left-handed-hitting Lowe will begin the festivities on the bench. Jonny DeLuca will patrol right field for the Rays.

Jonathan Aranda - Sitting versus Skubal Aranda is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Impact The left-handed hitter has homered in three straight contests, but with southpaw ace Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers in this one, Aranda will take a seat. Brandon Lowe will be at first base for the Rays in the series opener.

Austin Shenton - Sent down to minors The Rays optioned Shenton to their spring training complex Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact The minor-league season is over, so Shenton will stay in shape at the team's spring training facility in case he's needed later this week. Shenton has put up a .745 OPS over 50 plate appearances during his time in the majors this season.

Richie Palacios - Returns from injured list The Rays activated Palacios (knee) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Palacios has been sidelined since early August with a right knee sprain but has been cleared to return after playing five rehab games with Triple-A Durham. The 27-year-old could see a few starts in the final week between second base and the outfield.

Jonathan Aranda - Goes deep in third straight Aranda went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Aranda struck out in three of his four plate appearances, but he made his one hit count to tally his sixth homer of the season. He has now gone yard in three straight games, and he has hit .294 with five homers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored across 15 games since he became a regular starter.

Brandon Lowe - Tallies 20th homer Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Lowe has had an all-or-nothing approach at the plate, as he smacked his fourth homer in his last 13 games Sunday. On the other hand, he also has a 29.2 percent strikeout rate in that span -- including three games with multiple strikeouts. Overall, Lowe has managed to record 20 home runs for the second consecutive season despite appearing in only 102 games.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Edwin Uceta - Converts adventurous save Uceta allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Uceta was called upon to protect a two-run lead and allowed the tying run to reach third base with only one out. However, he recorded the final two outs without allowing the ball out of the infield to record his fourth save of the season. Uceta remains one of the most skilled pitchers in the Rays' bullpen, but a different reliever has now converted each of the team's four save chances.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Shane Baz - Six strong innings Baz allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings Sunday against the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Baz dominated early and held the Blue Jays without a hit through three innings. His only true trouble came in the fourth inning when he escaped a bases-loaded jam by allowing only one earned run. There were other positives from the performance, as Baz didn't allow a home run for the first time in his last four starts. He has also allowed only one walk in each of his last three outings and has complied a 16:3 K:BB across 18.1 innings in that span.
