Jonny DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI on Wednesday against the Athletics.

Part of the Rays’ platoon brigade, DeLuca notched two early hits off the Athletics’ left-handed starter Brady Basso and helped Tampa Bay build an early lead. With a .281 batting average against lefties this season, DeLuca consistently hits in the heart of the order against them and is a solid deep league, daily streamer on Friday and Saturday with two more lefties on the schedule.

Victor Mesa Jr. is starting in right field and batting sixth against the Mets on Wednesday.

Mesa Jr. was activated off the injured list on Tuesday and right back in the starting lineup against a lefty. He went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and is right back in there against a right-handed pitcher. Jonny DeLuca started on Tuesday, and Cedric Mullins is starting in center field and batting seventh tonight, so it appears that those two may be in a platoon.

Jonny DeLuca went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

DeLuca has been playing every day since Victor Mesa Jr. went on the injured list, and he’s gone 19-for-64 (.297) in August with five runs scored, five RBI, and three steals. He could be a deeper league asset in fantasy if he’s going to continue to play this often.

Rays placed OF Victor Mesa Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring.

Mesa’s setback last night will shelve him for at least 10 days. Ryan Vilade and Jonny DeLuca will get extra starts against righties while Mesa is out.

Jonny DeLuca finished 3-for-5 with two doubles and a steal against the A’s on Wednesday.

DeLuca mostly plays against lefties, but he got a start with Chandler Simpson resting today. He actually has a better OPS against righties than lefties this year (.776 to .731), but the Rays haven’t truly bought in. If typical form holds, he’ll start against the one lefty and probably one of the three righties the Orioles throw in their upcoming four-game series.

Cedric Mullins is not in the Rays’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Mariners in Seattle.

There haven’t been any rumblings of any sort of injury, so it looks to be just a routine night off for the 31-year-old outfielder. Jonny DeLuca will start in his place in center field and will bat sixth for the Rays against Logan Gilbert and the Mariners on Friday evening at T-Mobile Park.

Victor Mesa Jr. is on the bench for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

Mesa won’t get a chance to face Blue Jays veteran righty Kevin Gausman despite homering in each of his previous three contests. The 24-year-old has been scorching-hot at the dish and there’s plenty of underlying date, including a near-40 percent hard-hit rate, that suggests he can keep hitting for power. It’ll be Jonny DeLuca patrolling right field at the outset of Tuesday’s game in Toronto.

Jonny DeLuca homered and doubled versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t add to the nice day in the ninth, when he grounded out against Aroldis Chapman with the tying run on third and the go-ahead run at second to end the game. The homer off Ryan Watson was hit sixth in 189 plate appearances. He is batting .258/.294/.438 while starting against all lefties and a bit less than half of the time versus righties.

Jonny DeLuca is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Yankees on Monday.

Over the last three weeks, DeLuca has gone 9-for-33 (.273) with three home runs, six RBI, and three steals in 12 games. He continues to play less often than Victor Mesa Jr., which has limited his fantasy upside. However, if DeLuca were to get more playing time, he could be firmly on the radar in deeper formats.
