Tampa Bay Rays News

Cam Booser - Tallies seventh hold Booser picked up a hold Sunday against Seattle, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless seventh inning. He struck out two.

Impact After struggling to a 5.52 ERA in 31 innings for the White Sox in 2025, the 34-year-old left-hander continues to serve as a legitimate weapon out of Tampa Bay's bullpen this season. Booser has a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over 26 frames, also logging seven holds.

Chandler Simpson - Racks up four more hits Simpson went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact This was Simpson's fifth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. The double was also his first extra-base hit since July 24 versus the Guardians. The light-hitting outfielder is batting .304 with a .696 OPS, 31 stolen bases, 23 RBI, 48 runs scored, 12 doubles, six triples and no home runs across 110 contests this season.

Yandy Díaz - Collects four hits Diaz went 4-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Diaz and Chandler Simpson led the way with four hits apiece as the Rays used small ball effectively in this win. While Diaz has hit safely in just three of his seven games in August, those three performances have included multiple hits. He's 8-for-32 (.2500 with two RBI this month, and he's batting .298 with an .821 OPS, 15 home runs, 65 RBI, 62 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases through 112 contests overall.

Steven Matz - Earns save against Mariners Matz hit a batter but did not allow a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Matz has allowed one run over 8.2 innings since he returned from a sprained left ankle. This was his first save of the season, though he shouldn't be expected to factor into the late innings often -- he got the chance because Bryan Baker was rested Sunday after pitching the previous two days. Matz has filled a versatile role this year with a 5.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB through 61.2 innings over 21 games (10 starts). While the Rays' rotation is running a bit thin, Matz's usage out of the bullpen on consecutive days this weekend suggests he'll remain in a multi-inning relief role moving forward.

Ian Seymour - Earns third straight win Seymour (9-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Seymour has won his last three outings (two starts), allowing just three runs over 16.2 innings with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. He had some ups and downs in July but looks to be getting on course as a starter after stretching out in the majors over the last couple of months. Seymour is at a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:30 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 38 games (nine starts) this season, though he's also had some bulk-relief assignments. The southpaw's next appearance is projected to be at home versus the Orioles, and he should have some security in the rotation while Shane McClanahan (back) and Griffin Jax (elbow) are on the injured list.

Steven Wilson - Clears waivers The Rays outrighted Wilson to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Impact The 31-year-old righty looks set to remain in the organization after Tampa Bay designated him for assignment Thursday upon activating him from the 60-day injured list. Wilson had spent the entire season on the shelf after dealing with lumbar disc inflammation dating back to spring training, but he had pitched effectively over eight rehab appearances prior to being reinstated, permitting just two runs on two hits and four walks over nine innings.

Taylor Walls - Ready to go Sunday Walls (back) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Sunday against the Mariners, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact The 30-year-old was withheld from Saturday's starting nine due to lower-back tightness, but he'll rejoin the lineup for the series finale in Seattle. Walls is batting .103 (3-for-29) with four walks, three steals and 11 strikeouts in his past 12 games.

Griffin Jax - Lands on injured list The Rays placed Jax (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 6, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Jax was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday versus the Mariners due to right elbow discomfort, so the move to the injured list isn't much of a surprise. The 31-year-old will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 21, though a longer absence could be in store given the nature of the injury. His status could be updated more soon as he continues to be evaluated.
