DeLuca went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a stolen base Sunday against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSISDeLuca started his third straight game, two of which have come in center field in place of
Jose Siri. He made the case to maintain consistent playing time over the Rays' weekend series, homering on Saturday while also collecting two steals across the three games. For now, he appears to be in a rotation for two outfield spots with
Jose Siri and
Josh Lowe, but DeLuca could ultimately overtake Siri if his defense proves to be good enough in center field.
