Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Fortes will yield to Hunter Feduccia behind the dish Friday. Feduccia now started three of the Rays' last four games and four straight against right-handed pitchers.

Fortes went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Fortes started his second straight game behind the plate and has now been in the lineup in eight of the Rays' last 13 games. He has hit .286 with four RBI and two runs scored in that span, which could be enough to maintain a playing time advantage over Hunter Feduccia for the final week of the regular season.

Fortes went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a double Saturday in a 5-4 win against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter Feduccia got the start at catcher for Tampa Bay, but Fortes pinch hit for him in the seventh inning and got on base with a double. Fortes then stepped up in a huge way in the ninth, mashing a 421-foot solo shot to provide what ended up being the game-winning run. Fortes has five homers through 209 plate appearances this season, so he's not typically looked to for power.

Fortes went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 10-2 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Fortes hit just .139 (5-for-36) with four RBI over 16 games in August, so he's already off to a better start in September. The catcher's long ball opened the scoring in the second inning, leading the charge in the Rays' romp to the win. For the season, he's at a .218/.286/.333 slash line with four homers, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base across 194 plate appearances. Hunter Feduccia has seen a slight edge for playing time lately, but he hasn't hit well enough to relegate Fortes completely to a backup role.

Fortes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll crack the starting nine for the series finale, Fortes looks poised to work in a timeshare behind the dish with Hunter Feduccia, after the latter was acquired from the Dodgers on Thursday. Feduccia had started in three of the previous four contests and may hold a slight edge over Fortes in terms of playing time at the moment.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Marlins earlier this week, Fortes made his Rays debut in Tuesday's 12-2 win, starting behind the dish while going 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. Though he'll have a clearer path to playing time in Tampa Bay after Agustin Ramirez had overtaken him as the top backstop in Miami prior to the trade, Fortes may still find himself in a timeshare at catcher with Matt Thaiss, who gets the start Wednesday.

The Rays acquired Fortes from the Marlins on Monday in exchange for Matthew Etzel, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rays dealt Danny Jansen to the Brewers on Monday and have immediately replaced him with Fortes. Fortes has managed just a .225/.277/.344 batting line in parts of five major-league seasons, but the Rays hope to coax more out of him with a change of scenery. The 28-year-old should have the upper hand over Matt Thaiss for playing time at catcher the rest of the way for the Rays.

Fortes went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old catcher has a five-game hit streak going, during which he's gone 9-for-17 (.529) with a double, a homer, four runs and four RBI. Fortes has become primarily a short-side platoon player as the Marlins also try to find playing time for Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks behind the plate, but the role may be agreeing with him.

Fortes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop took Jameson Taillon deep in the third inning for the Marlins' only offense of the night. It was Fortes' first homer of the season, while the start was his sixth in May over 17 games as he continues to split the workload behind the plate with rookie Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks. On the month, Fortes is batting just .136 (3-for-22).

Fortes (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old will rejoin the active roster after missing nearly a month due to a Grade 1 oblique strain. Fortes opened the campaign as Miami's primary catcher and had an .833 OPS through 22 plate appearances, but prospect Agustin Ramirez has taken over the role and has a .908 OPS in his first 10 big-league games.
