Reinstated from injured list
The Rays activated DeLuca (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.
