Taking over in center field DeLuca will start in center field and bat seventh Monday in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Yankees.
Impact Cedric Mullins was the Rays' primary center fielder versus righties during the regular season.

DeLuca went hitless in three plate appearances in Game 1.

Homers twice in defeat DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Phillies.

Impact DeLuca came through with Tampa Bay down to its final out, taking Mason Miller deep for a game-tying two-run homer in the ninth inning to force extras in the eventual victory. He would drive in another run in the 11th, reaching base due to a fielding error. His three RBI tied a season high and continued a productive stretch in which he's recorded at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games. DeLuca is batting .266 with a .732 OPS across 89 games this season.

Seeing more opportunities versus righties DeLuca will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Impact He'll stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game after going 3-for-11 with a double in the prior three contests.

AUGUST 12 • Associated Press
Three hits, steal in win DeLuca went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 10-6 win over the Athletics.
Impact This was DeLuca's second multi-hit effort over his last seven games. He has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with two home runs and three steals in that span, providing a decent mix of production despite his part-time role. For the season, he's hitting .266 with a .738 OPS, eight homers, 13 steals, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored and 15 doubles over 234 plate appearances. DeLuca is a right-handed-hitting option to complement lefties Cedric Mullins and Victor Mesa as a platoon partner, though DeLuca's also found his way into the lineup against some same-handed pitching.
