Vilade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Vilade will take a seat for the third time in four games, with all three of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. The utility player looked as though he might have a chance at breaking out of his short-side platoon role after Victor Mesa (hamstring) was moved to the injured list Wednesday, but Jonny DeLuca has instead been prioritized ahead of Vilade as the Rays' primary right fielder versus righties.

Vilade is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Vilade had started three of the past four contests in right field, but he'll take a seat in Thursday's series finale. It will be Jonny DeLuca in right field for the Rays.

Vilade will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's contest versus the Blue Jays.

Aug 19Rotowire

Most of the right-handed-hitting Vilade's playing time this season has come against lefties, but he could see semi-regular reps versus righties while Victor Mesa (hamstring) is on the injured list. Vilade will be making his third start in the last three contests, and two of them have come versus right-handers. Vilade sports an .868 OPS against lefties in 2026, but he's held his own against righties with a .748 OPS.

Vilade went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Orioles.

Aug 17Rotowire

Vilade recorded his first homer of the month of August on Sunday. The utility player is playing a part-time role, but he's been an effective weapon for the Rays versus left-handed pitching. Vilade sports an .863 OPS in 114 at-bats against left-handers as opposed to a .682 OPS in 66 at-bats against righties this season.

Vilade went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer during the Rays' 3-0 win over the Rangers on Wednesday

Vilade extended the lead in the first inning with a two-run shot off of MacKenzie Gore. The super-utility man continues to operate as a small-side platoon player but is helping his case by hitting two homers in his last four games. Vilade has an .804 OPS with nine home runs and 35 RBI in 159 at-bats this season, with most of those opportunities coming against left-handed pitching.
