Ross Stripling - Ineffective versus RaysStripling (5-7) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk in 1.1 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus Tampa Bay.

ImpactThe right-hander was expected to serve as the primary pitcher in the contest, but he made a mess of the third inning and only ended up recording four outs. Stripling now has a 4.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 94:30 K:BB across 99.1 innings this year. He's still building up his pitch count after returning from an oblique injury nearly two weeks ago. If Hyun Jin Ryu (neck) isn't ready to return next week, Stripling could serve in a piggyback role during the three-game series versus the Yankees.

Julian Merryweather - Dodges danger as openerMerryweather allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning versus Tampa Bay on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.

ImpactThis was the 29-year-old's first turn as an opener this season. Merryweather allowed a single to Randy Arozarena and walked Ji-Man Choi before getting the final two outs of the frame. Through 8.1 innings, Merryweather owns a 4.32 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB. He's added two saves and a hold in nine appearances this year after missing most of the season due to an oblique injury.

Randy Arozarena - Doubles twice WednesdayArozarena went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Toronto.

ImpactThe outfielder was one of three Rays to record multiple hits. Arozarena had gone 10 games (nine starts) without a multi-hit effort before Wednesday's slump-busting effort. The 26-year-old is up to a .271/.350/.457 slash line with 19 home runs, 65 RBI, 89 runs scored, 15 stolen bases and 30 doubles through 569 plate appearances.

Austin Meadows - Goes deep in winMeadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Toronto.

ImpactThe outfielder crushed a no-doubter to right-center field in the third inning, giving Tampa Bay all the offense it needed in the win. Meadows had gone just 3-for-14 in the six games since he last went yard. For the season, he's slashing .232/.314/.454 with 26 homers, 103 RBI, 75 runs scored and four stolen bases in 567 plate appearances.
