Whit Merrifield - Joining new team ThursdayMerrifield is expected to join the Blue Jays on Thursday for a series in Minneapolis, but his vaccination status and ability to enter Canada for the team's next homestand remains u...

ImpactThe former Royal missed a series in Toronto just before the All-Star break due to his inability to cross the border, but Merrifield made comments afterward suggesting he would get vaccinated if he were playing for a team in playoff contention. That's now the case after he was dealt to the Jays at the trade deadline, but it remains to be seen if he's changed his mind about getting vaccinated.

David Peralta - First hits in Tampa BayPeralta went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

ImpactPeralta collected his first hit as a Ray with a single in the fourth inning before tallying an RBI knock in the sixth frame. He's hit sixth and fifth in the order in each of his first two appearances with the club, and was notably included in the lineup with a lefty starter on the mound Wednesday. Given the depleted state of Tampa Bay's outfield, Peralta should remain a near everyday player for the foreseeable future. Across 321 plate appearances on the season, he has maintained a .249/.315/.453 line.
