Rays vs. Nationals Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 30
Ha-Seong Kim - Could return upon roster expansion Kim (back) isn't expected to return from the 10-day injured list until at least Monday when team rosters expand to 28 players, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Impact Kim has played just 29 major-league games this season due to multiple injuries, most recently lower-back inflammation that landed him on the 10-day IL on Aug. 21. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sunday, but the Rays will wait to bring back the 29-year-old shortstop until at least Monday. Carson Williams has played well since making his major-league debut Aug. 22, but it's unclear what his role will be once Kim has returned.
AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Mangum - Sitting versus southpaw Mangum is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Mangum has now been out of the lineup each of the last three times the Rays have faced a left-handers (in this case, Mitchell Parker) and four of the last seven games overall. Everson Pereira will patrol center field for Tampa Bay.
AUGUST 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ian Seymour - Receiving second start Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game against the Nationals in Washington.
Impact The rookie southpaw will receive a second turn through the Tampa Bay rotation after a magnificent first MLB start this past Monday, when he claimed his second big-league win while striking out eight Guardians batters and allowing just two baserunners over five scoreless frames. Altogether, Seymour nows owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB in 28.1 innings over his first 13 big-league appearances. The Rays should have a permanent spot available in the rotation for Seymour if he continues to excel, and he'll have a prime opportunity to build up more job security Sunday in a matchup with a Nationals offense that has produced an 80 wRC+ versus left-handed pitching this season.

Jonny DeLuca - Kicks off rehab assignment DeLuca (hamstring) went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first rehab game with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
Impact DeLuca also played seven innings in center field in what was his first game since suffering a left hamstring strain three weeks earlier. There's no word on when the Rays plan to activate DeLuca (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list, but it could be any day now. He's been limited to just 20 games this season due to various injuries.

Pete Fairbanks - Blows fifth save Fairbanks was charged with his fifth blown save of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians, giving up one run on one hit in the ninth inning. He struck out...
Impact Brought in to protect a 3-2 lead, Fairbanks instead served up a game-tying homer to improbable hero Nolan Jones, who came into Wednesday mired in a 53-game power drought, with his last long ball having come June 13. Fairbanks has coughed up just five home runs on the season, but four of them have come in his last 10 appearances -- a stretch in which he's gone 4-for-6 in converting save chances.
AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Rasmussen - Quality start wasted Wednesday Rasmussen came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
Impact The right-hander extended his quality start streak to four with another sharp performance that saw him fire 60 of 85 pitches for strikes, but Rasmussen missed out on his 11th win of the season when the Rays bullpen blew a 3-2 lead. He hasn't been tagged for more than two runs in an outing since June 30, and over nine trips to the mound since the beginning of July, Rasmussen sports a 2.34 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 39:7 K:BB in 42.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

Ha-Seong Kim - Progressing well Kim (back) fielded grounders Wednesday and Rays manager Kevin Cash said the team is "happy with the progression" the infielder has made, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun rep...
Impact Kim has been receiving treatment for lower-back inflammation and appears to be trending in the right direction. He is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Saturday, and it's possible the infielder is ready to return by then. Carson Williams is off to a hot start while filling in for Kim at shortstop, but he could be pushed aside soon if the Rays elect to re-install Kim as their primary option at the position.
AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Bob Seymour - Out versus right-hander Seymour is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.
Impact Guardians right-handed starter Slade Cecconi has slight reverse splits, which helps explain why the left-handed-hitting Seymour is sitting against a righty for the first time since he was promoted earlier this month. Yandy Diaz will handle first base in Wednesday's rubber match.
AUGUST 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Shane Baz - Stuck with loss in quality start Baz (8-11) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over six innings as the Rays fell 3-0 to the Guardians. He struck out seven.
Impact The right-hander produced his first quality start since July 12 on 92 pitches (62 strikes), but Baz got no run support to remain winless over his last 10 trips to the mound. During that span, he's gone 0-8 with a 6.58 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings. Baz will try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mariners.
