Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FL

Robbie Grossman - Homers in lossGrossman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

ImpactThis was Grossman's first game action since Wednesday as he continues to slip into a bench role. He's hit safely in four of six games in June, going 4-for-18 (.222) with a homer, three RBI and two doubles. The veteran outfielder has a mediocre .238/.315/.392 slash line with seven homers, 32 RBI, 34 runs scored, eight doubles and no stolen bases over 216 plate appearances this season. He'll need to show a bit more to challenge either Ezequiel Duran in left field or Mitch Garver at designated hitter for more playing time.

Martín Pérez - Lit up in TampaPerez (6-2) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Rays.

ImpactThe Rays did all of their damage against Perez, tallying just two hits after he exited the contest. This was the fourth time in his last seven outings that the veteran southpaw has given up at least four runs, including a pair of seven-spots. The loss was his first since April 8. Perez owns a 4.67 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB through 71.1 innings over 13 starts. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Harold Ramírez - Three hits in Sunday's winRamirez went 3-for-3 with a stolen base and one RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

ImpactRamirez has logged three multi-hit efforts, three steals and seven RBI through seven contests in June. The 28-year-old is a lock to be in the lineup versus southpaws, but he's also served as the designated hitter versus three of the last six right-handers the Rays have faced. Ramirez has earned the added playing time with a .306/.351/.517 slash line overall, which includes a solid .269/.327/.440 line against righties. He's added nine home runs, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored and a career-high four steals over 194 plate appearances.

Wander Franco - Ends homer droughtFranco went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

ImpactFranco went over a month between homers, with his last coming May 9 in Baltimore. The shortstop hit a solid .276 over that 27-game span, but he slugged just .362 in the same stretch. His long ball Sunday was his career-best eighth of the campaign, coming in just his 63rd contest. He's added 32 RBI, 41 runs scored, 22 stolen bases, 19 doubles and two triples while slashing .299/.360/.486.

Shane McClanahan - First to 10 winsMcClanahan (10-1) earned the win Sunday over the Rangers, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings.

ImpactMcClanahan had some trouble in the third inning, when he allowed all three runs and four of his five baserunners. This was his fourth quality start in his last five outings, and it's just the second time he's given up three or more runs all season. The ace southpaw is now at a 2.18 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 92:30 K:BB through 82.2 innings over 14 starts. McClanahan's 10 wins lead all of baseball, and he'll look to add to the total in his next start, which is projected to be in San Diego.
