Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Seeing steady playing time
DeLuca will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, DeLuca has started in each of the Rays' ensuing six games while going 7-for-18 with three extra-base hits (one home run, one triple and one double), 10 RBI, three runs and two stolen bases. Tampa Bay is back to full strength in its outfield with Jose Siri recently returning from a two-game suspension and Josh Lowe coming off the IL on Monday, but DeLuca hasn't given any reason for manager Kevin Cash to take him out of the lineup just yet. Over the long haul, the right-handed-hitting DeLuca could settle into a short-side platoon role, but expect him to continue playing at least semi-regularly until his bat cools.

DeLuca went 1-for-4 with a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-8 win over the Mets.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Back from injury
DeLuca (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 25-year-old batted .300 in 25 plate appearances and walked four times with one strikeout at Durham.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Heads out on rehab assignment
DeLuca (hand) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, going 0-for-4 with an RBI while playing nine innings in right field in a 14-2 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The 25-year-old outfielder played in his first game since he fractured his right hand in a spring training contest March 10. He'll presumably require a handful of additional rehab games before he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list to make his Rays debut.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Could be ready for rehab games soon
Manager Kevin Cash said Monday that DeLuca (hand) could be ready to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham later this week, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.
Reports last week suggested that DeLuca was still experiencing soreness in his fractured lower right hand, but he's evidently made improvements since then. DeLuca hasn't played in a game since March 10, so he'll likely be in line for an extended rehab assignment figures to take a little while. Once he's ready to return from the 10-day injured list, he could be a mainstay in the Rays outfield against left-handed pitching.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Still experiencing soreness
DeLuca has been able to hold a bat during his rehab program but is still experiencing soreness in his fractured lower right hand, MLB.com reports.
DeLuca was placed on the 10-day injured list March 27 and remains without a clear timeline to make his Rays and season debuts, though an injury like his is one that typically entails a six-week recovery. Until DeLuca is able to start performing full baseball activities, it'll be difficult to pinpoint a more precise target date for his return from the 10-day injured list.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Suffers broken right hand
DeLuca sustained a broken right hand in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He's expected to be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks.
DeLuca was pulled from Sunday's game after being hit by a pitch. He received X-rays at the hospital, which revealed a broken right hand. The injury is a major blow for DeLuca, who was off to a solid start to spring and appeared on track to make the Rays' Opening Day roster as a short-side platoon outfielder. Before being acquired by the Rays in December, DeLuca played in 24 games for the Dodgers last season and slashed .262/.311/.429 with two home runs and six RBI over 45 plate appearances.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Likely to land roster spot
DeLuca's ability to play center field is likely to land him an Opening Day roster spot, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
DeLuca was acquired by the Rays this offseason as part of the return in the Tyler Glasnow trade. He made his big-league debut in 2023 and posted a 102 wRC+ while also playing above-average defense in the outfield. DeLuca is likely to enter the season as the Rays' fourth outfielder and the primary backup to Jose Siri in center field.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Added to mix in Tampa outfield
DeLuca was traded from the Dodgers to the Rays along with Ryan Pepiot in exchange for Tyler Glasnow and Manuel Margot on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
DeLuca reached the majors for the first time in 2023, though that amounted to only 45 plate appearances. He's strong defensively, which should help him find more consistent playing time with the Rays, even if it doesn't translate to a full-time job in the outfield.

Dodgers' Jonny DeLuca: Back healthy, optioned
DeLuca (hamstring) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
DeLuca has been sidelined for slightly over a month with a right hamstring strain. He tallied two homers and one stolen base across 45 big-league plate appearances prior to going down, though his primary contribution to the Dodgers was his excellent defense. DeLuca could be called up again prior to the close of the regular season, though his playing time would likely be sporadic.
