Josh Lowe - Swipes 13th bag Lowe went 1-for-4 with one steal in Tuesday's loss against the Cubs.

He has been a massive threat on the basepaths as of late, stealing seven bases in his last 12 games. Over that span, Lowe has also been hitting .311 with two long balls, nine RBI and five runs scored.

Impact In his 12th start of the season, McClanahan took his first loss despite allowing just two runs.

On top of leading MLB in wins, McClanahan boasts the third-lowest ERA, fourth-most quality starts and fifth-most strikeouts among starters.

Pete Fairbanks - No structural damage in hip MRI results on Fairbanks' left hip revealed no structural damage Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact It certainly is good news for Fairbanks, who landed on the injured list for the second time this season Monday due to inflammation in his left hip. Fairbanks will receive a cortisone injection in his hip and will be shut down from throwing for at least a week. Once the Rays see how Fairbanks responds to treatment, a clearer picture should emerge regarding a throwing program and return date.

Wander Franco - Records 19th theft Franco went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Cubs.

Impact Franco notched Tampa Bay's only hit of the game, breaking up Marcus Stroman's no-hitter in the seventh inning with a leadoff single. The speedy shortstop proceeded to steal second base but didn't advance any further. Franco extended his hitting streak to six games with the base knock, and he's swiped five bags over that span. He ranks third in the majors with 19 thefts on the campaign.

Taj Bradley - Impresses but takes loss Bradley (3-2) was tagged with the loss against the Cubs on Monday, allowing an unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact A fourth-inning Tampa Bay error helped Chicago notch the game's only run, resulting in Bradley taking his second career loss despite another strong outing. The rookie righty tossed a season-high 5.2 frames to fall one out shy of his first quality start, and he punched out eight batters while walking only one. Bradley's pitch count is being kept in check -- the 90 pitches he threw Monday marked a campaign high -- but he's still been able to complete at least five innings in all but one of his six starts. Overall, he has looked every bit deserving of a big-league rotation spot, compiling a 3.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 42:5 K:BB over 30 innings.

Impact Since he's been sidelined since spring training with the neck injury, Armstrong will be eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list whenever the Rays deem him ready. The right-hander has looked sharp over the course of his rehab assignment and could work his way back into Tampa Bay's late-inning mix, which looks more unsettled at the moment after closer Pete Fairbanks (hip) was placed on the 15-day IL on Monday.
