Souza is out of Sunday's lineup against the Twins, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports. Souza is likely just taking a day off, but Nick Franklin's debut could set off a chain of events that leads to less playing time for Souza. The right fielder has been the most regular starter for the Rays, pushing other players like Brandon Guyer, Kevin Kiermaier, and David Dejesus into intermittent roles in the rest of the outfield and the DH position. With Franklin back and starting, Rays infielders could see more days at DH and lead to an odd-man out situation in the outfield. If Souza continues to struggle, he might see fewer starts in right field and a lower fantasy value.
