Overview

  • Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 22 after aggravating a lower back strain against the White Sox.
  • Tampa Bay reinstated outfielder Jonny DeLuca from the 60-day IL to fill Kim’s open spot on the active roster.
  • Left-hander Mason Montgomery was recalled from Triple-A Durham after right-hander Taj Bradley was optioned back to the minors.
  • Right-hander Jacob Waguespack was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for DeLuca’s return.
  • Kim’s availability remains crucial as he carries a $13 million salary this season and the Rays sit 53-50 in the AL wild-card race.
