Overview
- Ha-Seong Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 22 due to a lower back strain that forced him out of Monday’s game.
- Jonny DeLuca was reinstated from the 60-day IL to fill Kim’s roster spot, marking his first big-league action since early April.
- Right-hander Jacob Waguespack was designated for assignment to clear 40-man roster space and is likely to be released in the coming days.
- Kim could return from the injured list as early as next week if his back responds to treatment.
- These adjustments underscore the Rays’ ongoing challenge of balancing player health and roster depth during the stretch drive.
