Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Tuesday that DeLuca (shoulder) is likely to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
DeLuca landed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain, an injury he believes he suffered on a diving catch Friday. He is able to swing a bat and run without issue, but throwing is a problem, so they'll give the injury at least a couple weeks to calm down. Kameron Misner is starting in center field for the Rays on Tuesday and should handle the position regularly while DeLuca is out.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Goes on IL with shoulder strain
The Rays placed DeLuca on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
It's not clear when or how DeLuca was injured, but he didn't start the Rays' most recent game Sunday in Texas, appearing as a pinch runner. He will be eligible to return April 17, but given the nature of the injury, there's a good chance he'll require more downtime than that timeframe.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Out of Sunday's lineup
DeLuca is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
DeLuca is operating as Tampa Bay's primary center fielder but will receive Sunday off after going 10-for-23 with a triple, four steals and three runs through eight games. Kameron Misner will shift to center field while Jake Mangum receives a start in right.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Racking up steals
DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Rangers.
DeLuca has started seven of eight games in center field to begin the season, with Saturday marking his third multi-hit performance. He has yet to barrel a ball, but he's still found a way to remain fantasy relevant thanks to his aggressiveness on the basepaths. Saturday's swiped bag gives him a total of four on the season, and he has yet to be caught.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Day off Monday
DeLuca is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
DeLuca started all three games in the opening series versus the Rockies, but he'll get a breather Monday. Kameron Misner is handling center field and batting sixth.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Pilfers two bags in win
DeLuca went 3-for-4 with two steals in Sunday's 6-4 victory against Colorado.
After swiping 16 bags in 362 plate appearances last season, DeLuca opened his 2025 stolen base ledger with a pair in this series finale. The 26-year-old also collected his fourth career three-hit game, knocking a trio of singles. Despite Tampa Bay's penchant for platoons, DeLuca looks to be locked in as the everyday center fielder, which should allow him to eclipse his stolen base total from 2024.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Remains projected center fielder
DeLuca is expected to be the Rays' primary center fielder to begin the regular season, John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
DeLuca produced only a .609 OPS across 362 plate appearances with the Rays in 2024, but he seemingly inherited the center field role after Jose Siri was dealt in the offseason. He hasn't fared any better across 29 plate appearances in Grapefruit League games, as he has yet to tally an extra-base hit while collecting only five hits across 26 at-bats. DeLuca's defensive ability will still be enough for him to begin the season as a regular, though he'll presumably need to be more productive at the plate to maintain that status.

Rays' Jonny DeLuca: Likely to get first shot in CF
DeLuca is projected to begin the 2025 season as the Rays' center fielder, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
The Rays traded Jose Siri to the Mets during the offseason, creating an opening in center field. DeLuca is expected to fill that void thanks primarily to his defensive ability, though he'll likely need to perform better at the plate to maintain regular at-bats throughout the campaign. He posted just a 77 wRC+ across 362 big-league plate appearances in 2024, and Richie Palacios can also handle center field duties.

DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over Baltimore.
DeLuca launched his sixth home run of the season off Corbin Burnes in the sixth inning, the only runs scored in the 2-0 victory. The 26-year-old DeLuca has now started nine of the past 10 games for Tampa Bay, batting .361 with four extra-base hits, three stolen bases and eight runs scored in 38 plate appearances. On the year, the speedy outfielder owns a disappointing .623 OPS with 27 runs scored, 30 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 93 games.
