Homers again Sunday
DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and three RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.
Analyse
After striking out in each of his first two plate appearances, DeLuca doubled in the fifth inning and later delivered the game's biggest hit, launching a two-run homer off Orlando Ribalta in the seventh to give Tampa Bay the eventual winning runs. The outfielder has wasted little time making an impact since returning from the injured list, going 3-for-8 (.375) with two homers and three RBI across his first eight plate appearances back in the lineup. Before the hamstring injury, DeLuca was batting .269 with two homers and 19 RBI across 41 contests.

On bench Saturday
DeLuca isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analyse
DeLuca blasted a solo home run during his first game back from the injured list Friday, but the Rays will hold him out of the starting nine Saturday as they look to ease him back into regular playing time. Victor Mesa will fill in as Tampa Bay's right fielder and bat seventh.

Homers in return to lineup
DeLuca went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.
Analyse
Seeing his first big-league action since May 22 after missing about a month due to a hamstring strain, DeLuca made an immediate impact, wrapping up the scoring on the night by taking Miles Mikolas deep in the eighth inning. DeLuca was starting in right field and batting third in his return -- the first time he's hit third all season -- and he should be the Rays' primary option in right as long as he can stay healthy. Through 129 plate appearances on the year, he's slashing .268/.297/.431 with three homers, six steals, 18 runs and 20 RBI.

Reinstated from injured list
The Rays activated DeLuca (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analyse
DeLuca made a quick recovery from his right hamstring strain, as he made it back in less than a month after initially being assigned a 6-to-8 week timeline. The 27-year-old outfielder played four rehab games with Triple-A Durham, going 4-for-11 with a 4:2 BB:K. DeLuca could settle back in as Tampa Bay's primary right fielder.

Could be activated this weekend
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that DeLuca (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during this weekend's series versus the Nationals, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Analyse
DeLuca will play his fourth rehab game with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday after reaching base eight times in his first three rehab contests. He's a little more than three weeks into a projected 6-to-8 week timeline, so DeLuca has progressed much faster than anticipated. DeLuca was seeing regular starts in right field before getting hurt and could regain that role upon activation.
