Josh Lowe - Not starting nightcap Lowe will hit the bench for the evening portion of Saturday's doubleheader in Kansas City.
Impact Lowe started the afternoon game in right field, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and a sacrifice fly. Manuel Margot will be the right fielder in the nightcap.

Brandon Lowe - Hits bench for night game Lowe will sit for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Impact Lowe led off in the afternoon contest, going 1-for-3 with a pair of walks a run scored. Taylor Walls will slide to second base for the nightcap, with Isaac Paredes taking Walls' spot at the hot corner.

Cooper Criswell - Following opener Criswell will be the bulk reliever in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, with Shawn Armstrong set to open the game on the mound, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun re...
Impact All six of Criswell's major-league outings this season have come in a similar role. He's recorded at least seven outs each time but has topped out at 4.2 innings. The 26-year-old righty owns a 5.14 ERA overall but has allowed just two runs in 9.2 innings over his last three appearances.
JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shawn Armstrong - Serving as opener Armstrong will open the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
Impact The Rays may be playing two games in one day, but they only had to use two members of a well-rested bullpen in the afternoon contest, so Armstrong won't face much pressure to eat innings. He did throw three innings as an opener in his final appearance before the break, but he hasn't lasted more than two frames in any of his over 12 appearances. Cooper Criswell is expected to follow Armstrong as the bulk reliever.

Rays open post-break play with win in Game 1 of doubleheader vs. Royals Two homers by Jose Siri and another by Francisco Mejia lead the way, while Tyler Glasnow delivers a strong start.
JULY 15, 2023 • TAMPABAY.COM
Cooper Criswell - Joins roster for doubleheader Criswell was recalled by the Rays to serve as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.
Impact Criswell is expected to either start the nightcap or serve as the bulk reliever. All six of Criswell's big-league appearances this season have come in relief, but all have lasted at least 2.1 innings. He owns a 5.14 ERA and 1.52 WHIP, though those numbers are inflated by a .362 BABIP.
JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Isaac Paredes - Not in lineup Paredes will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Paredes had a very productive first half, hitting .265/.370/.504 with 16 homers in 80 games. Taylor Walls will start at second base in the first game of Saturday's twin bill, but Paredes could return for the nightcap.
JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Shane McClanahan - Now lined up for Monday start McClanahan (back) is slated to return from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Rangers at Globe Life Field, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact After landing on the IL on July 1 with mid-back tightness, McClanahan initially appeared poised to return from the IL when first eligible to start Sunday's series finale in Kansas City, but a rainout Friday nixed those plans. With a doubleheader Saturday creating a stretch of six games in five days, the Rays will call up Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Durham to take the hill for the second game of the twin bill and serve as a temporary sixth starter. As a result, McClanahan and all the other Rays' starting pitchers will be pushed back a day in the schedule. The southpaw will thus miss out on a more favorable matchup versus the 26-65 Royals and will instead make his return on the road against one of the majors' top offenses. On a positive note for fantasy managers, McClanahan will at least line up for two starts next week, with his second turn expected to come next weekend at home versus Baltimore.

Impact With Friday's game getting postponed and the Rays not having any off days until July 24, they needed to have some sort of bullpen game as part of Saturday's doubleheader. Criswell has a 5.14 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 21 innings across six MLB appearances.

Cole Wilcox - Missing bats at Double-A Wilcox has a 3.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 15.2 innings over his last three starts for Double-A Montgomery.
Impact Wilcox had a shaky stretch from April 28 through June 15, where he had a 7.28 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over nine starts, but Wilcox has gotten back on track lately. The 6-foot-5 righty, who turned 24 on Friday, has built up to a career-high 66 innings after missing parts of 2021 and 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. In addition to bat-missing stuff in his mid-90s fastball and hard-biting slider, Wilcox excels at generating weak contact (55 percent groundball rate).

Shane McClanahan - Expected back Sunday Rays manager Kevin Cash said last week that he's confident McClanahan (back) will be ready to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible to start Sunday's game in Kans...
Impact McClanahan was placed on the IL with mid-back tightness July 1, one day after he was limited to a season-low three innings in a start in Seattle. The injury kept him from making his final turn before the All-Star break and also prevented him from pitching in the Midsummer Classic, but he was able to play catch last week without any discomfort and has presumably continued to improve in the days that followed. McClanahan may throw a bullpen session Thursday or Friday before the Rays officially confirm that he'll take the hill for the final game of the series in Kansas City.
