Rays' Taylor Walls: Remains out Friday
Walls (fingers) is out of the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Guardians.

Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Kicks off rehab assignment
Rodriguez (elbow) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Thursday, giving up a solo home run and striking out three in one inning.
Rodriguez served up a home run to the first batter he faced since last August's flexor surgery, but he then rebounded to fan the next three hitters. The 29-year-old will need several rehab outings as he preps for a return to the Rays' bullpen. Rodriguez posted a 2.12 ERA and 59:17 K:BB over 68 innings the last two seasons for Tampa Bay, so he could provide a nice boost to the relief corps if he can regain his pre-surgery form.

Rays' Ian Seymour: Takes third loss Thursday
Seymour (6-3) took the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.

While throwing 59 of 87 pitches for strikes, Seymour allowed a run in the third inning before retiring 11 of the next 13 batters, though he surrendered another run in the seventh that saddled him with the loss. It was a strong bounce-back performance after he had been tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) across 11.2 frames in his previous three outings. Seymour owns a 4.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 86:27 K:BB over 73.2 innings while making seven starts and 28 relief appearances this season.
