Tampa Bay Rays

Gavin Lux

LF

Since resuming his rehab assignment June 30, Lux has gone 7-for-24 with five walks, two steals and three runs scored over seven outings. The 28-year-old has been bitten by the injury bug on several occasions this year, first dealing with a right shoulder injury in the spring, next spraining his ankle during an April 11 rehab contest and then getting shut down May 12 due to left shoulder inflammation. Once Lux is finally ready to make his Rays debut, he'll likely be competing with Richie Palacios for reps at second base and Taylor Walls at shortstop.

Jake Fraley

RF

Fraley was five games into his rehab assignment and didn't appear far off from being cleared to come off the injured list, but he's now headed to the doctor to be evaluated further. He's been on the shelf nearly two months and is already eligible to be reinstated, but it's uncertain how much longer he'll remain on the injured list.

Steven Wilson

RP

Wilson has been sidelined all season while working his way back from lumbar disc inflammation. He will need some time to knock off the rust, but joining the Rays' bullpen before the end of July is possible if all goes well.

Jesse Scholtens

RP

A right wrist strain has shelved Scholtens since late May, but the right-hander is gearing up for a return at some point after the All-Star break. Given that the Rays are having him open his rehab assignment with a three-inning appearance, Scholtens looks as though he could be getting stretched out for a starting role, though he won't necessarily have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated. Scholtens made two starts and seven relief appearances for Tampa Bay prior to landing on the injured list, posting a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 37.2 innings.

Steven Matz

SP

Matz is ready to take the last step in his recovery from a left ankle sprain that caused him to land on the 15-day injured list in late June. He may need just one or two outings in the minors before he's ready to return to the big club, though it's unclear whether his reinstatement from the IL will come before or after the All-Star break.
