Rays 6/30/17 Starting Lineup

Plouffe DH
Hechavarria SS
Faria RHP

Noteworthiness

— Tonight’s starting lineup has Trevor Plouffe as the DH, hitting eighth.

— The Rays went 4-for-29 wRISP over the last three days. Hopefully they can break out of their malaise tonight against Tillman.

— The Rays have voided the option of INF Daniel Robertson, and instead have placed him on the major-league DL due to neck spasms (retroactive to June 26).

ESPN predicts that OF/DH Corey Dickerson and RHP Chris Archer will represent the Rays in the 2017 All Star Game — no more, no less.
