Rays recalled RHP Kirby Yates from Triple-A Durham.

Yates takes the place of Josh Lueke in the Rays bullpen, as the veteran reliever was designated for assignment on Saturday. Yates had been pitching brilliantly for Durham, allowing just one run in his first 25 innings of work (0.36 ERA) while posting a 0.76 WHIP and 35/9 K/BB ratio while saving 16 games. It's not unthinkable that he could quickly work his way into the late-inning mix, given the struggles of Grant Balfour and Joel Peralta. Jun 7 - 1:02 PM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Ryan Hanigan D.L. Ryan Hanigan (oblique) has resumed throwing but has yet to do any rotational work. Players are usually about 10 days away from returning from an oblique injury once they do begin rotational work, so it appears Hanigan won't be back before the end of the month. The Rays will continue to use Jose Molina as their primary catcher while Hanigan is on the shelf. Jul 23

	3	Curt Casali
1B	1	James Loney
	2	Sean Rodriguez
2B	1	Ben Zobrist
	2	Logan Forsythe
	3	Cole Figueroa
SS	1	Yunel Escobar
	2	Tim Beckham D.L. Rays prospect Tim Beckham went 3-for-4 with a triple for rookie-level GCL Rays on Monday. Beckham tore his ACL in December and has been working his way back since then. He was viewed as a potential five-tool talent when drafted first overall in 2008, but has struggled to live up to his lofty draft status and has turned into a potential utility infielder with some pop. Beckham may return to the major leagues in September. Jul 22
3B	1	Evan Longoria
LF	1	David DeJesus D.L. David DeJesus is expected to need 2-3 more weeks for his fractured left hand to heal. He'll be allowed to resume baseball activities at that time. DeJesus is hoping to return in early- to mid-August, with the latter being more likely. Jul 11
CF	1	Desmond Jennings
	2	Kevin Kiermaier
RF	1	Wil Myers D.L. Wil Myers (wrist) has begun some light throwing and is swinging with a Speed Hitter device. Myers is aiming to rejoin the Rays' lineup in mid-August as he works his way back from a fractured right wrist. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year was hitting just .227/.313/.354 over 53 games prior to the injury. Jul 23
	2	Brandon Guyer
	3	Jerry Sands D.L. Jerry Sands needs season-ending surgery on his left wrist. Sands simply wasn't recovering as hoped and it turns out he needs to get cut open. The outfielder picked up just four hits in 21 at-bats for the Rays this season. Jul 11
DH	1	Matt Joyce
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	David Price
	2	Matt Moore D.L. Rays transferred LHP Matt Moore from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for catcher Ali Solis on the 40-man roster. Moore underwent Tommy John surgery in April and will miss the rest of the season. May 27

	5	Jake Odorizzi
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jake McGee
	2	Grant Balfour
	3	Joel Peralta D.L. Rays placed RHP Joel Peralta on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 13, with a virus. The belief is that Peralta caught the chikungunya virus in the Dominican Republic over the All-Star break. It's an illness that is transferred by mosquitoes in the Caribbean and can cause nasty symptoms for over a week. He should be fine by the end of this month. Jul 22
