He'll stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game after going 3-for-11 with a double in the prior three contests. With three of DeLuca's four starts coming against right-handed pitching, he looks to have emerged as the Rays' preferred option in right field after Victor Mesa (hamstring) was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

This was DeLuca's second multi-hit effort over his last seven games. He has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with two home runs and three steals in that span, providing a decent mix of production despite his part-time role. For the season, he's hitting .266 with a .738 OPS, eight homers, 13 steals, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored and 15 doubles over 234 plate appearances. DeLuca is a right-handed-hitting option to complement lefties Cedric Mullins and Victor Mesa as a platoon partner, though DeLuca's also found his way into the lineup against some same-handed pitching.
