Sticking in lineup Wednesday DeLuca will start in center field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact DeLuca will be included in the lineup for the seventh straight contest, but it's not yet clear if he'll be in line for regular starts against right-handed pitching after fellow outfielder Chandler Simpson returned to action in Tuesday's 7-3 win following a four-game absence due to a finger issue. The Rays could open up more time for DeLuca if they opt to rotate a number of other regulars at the designated-hitter spot and commit to Yandy Diaz as a full-time first baseman while Jonathan Aranda (wrist) is on the injured list.

Looks set for short-side role DeLuca went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Monday against the Angels.

Impact DeLuca started his fifth straight game in the absence of Chandler Simpson (hand) and has gone 4-for-18 with six strikeouts in that span. Despite struggling overall, he has managed two stolen bases across those five contests, bringing his total on the season to six. Assuming Simpson makes his expected return Tuesday, DeLuca is likely to shift back to a small-side platoon role.

Off IL The Rays activated DeLuca (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact DeLuca has been on the shelf since April 8 due to a right shoulder strain, an injury which was initially expected to sideline DeLuca for 2-to-4 weeks before suffering multiple setbacks. The 26-year-old's return will bump Jacob Waguespack from the 40-man roster while Ha-Seong Kim (back) heads to the IL.

Closing in on assignment President of baseball operations Erik Neander said Thursday that DeLuca (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment this week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact DeLuca initially landed on the injured list in April with a strained right shoulder, though multiple setbacks have caused his absence to extend into the second half of the season. He'll give minor-league action another shot within the next several days and will likely require an extended ramp-up period before rejoining the active roster.

Resumes baseball activities DeLuca (shoulder) resumed baseball activities in late June but a rehab assignment has not yet been scheduled, MLB.com reports.

Impact It's been mostly a lost season for DeLuca, who notched 10 hits and four steals in his first eight games before suffering a shoulder injury on a diving play in the field April 6. He had a setback in late April and then briefly began a rehab assignment in late May before suffering another setback and getting shut down for a month. DeLuca has potential in stolen bases, among other roto categories, but it's tough to say when he'll begin his next rehab assignment, and it's concerning that he has already dealt with multiple setbacks while trying to return from this injury.
