Souza's MRI on his left hip confirmed there was no damage, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news is the best possible under the circumstances for Souza, the team and fantasy owners, as there were fears the damage from his awkward slide in Wednesday's game could be more extensive. The positive MRI results leave Souza's status as day to day, with the possibility that he could play Friday when the Rays open a home series versus the Rangers.

Souza (hip) avoided a major injury and manager Kevin Cash is "pretty optimistic" he won't need a disabled list stint, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Souza left Wednesday's game with a hip injury but an MRI didn't find anything serious. Look for the Rays to use Shane Peterson or Peter Bourjos in right field for a game or two while Souza heals up, but his absence shouldn't be a long one.

Souza left Wednesday's game with a left hip strain, but received clean tests after undergoing an MRI following his removal, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Souza left the game after attempting to slide into second base in the first inning, and will be reevaluated in Tampa Bay on Wednesday night once the team returns. Although this seems to be a minor injury, Souza did have surgery on this hip last September. While there should be a clear timetable for Souza within the next 24 hours, if he does happen to need an extended period of time out of the lineup, look for Shane Peterson and Peter Bourjos to pick up the slack in right field.

EDGE Analysis

Souza's 433-foot shot to center in the eighth closed out the scoring on the night for the Rays and represented his third homer of July. The slugging outfielder now has a career high in home runs (18) and is on pace for personal bests across the board in what has been a breakout season.

EDGE Analysis

Souza is now slashing a solid .284/.364/.489 in 99 plate appearances out of the leadoff spot, a tally that includes 12 extra-base hits factoring in Sunday's double. The All-Star break comes at an inopportune time for the slugging outfielder considering he's hitting .333 over his first eight games of July, partly on the strength of four multi-hit efforts. Souza has even seen an improvement in his typically bloated strikeout rate, as his current 28.5 percent figure, while still in considerable need of improvement, is a notable improvement over last season's 34.0 percent.

Souza went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Souza provided one of the few bright spots on the night for the struggling Rays offense and he's now matched the career high for homers he set last season. The 28-year-old slugger is off to a strong start in July as well, having compiled three multi-hit efforts in his first six games of the month. Despite still striking out at an accelerated clip (101 whiffs over 82 games), all three components of his .267/.366/.498 line represent career highs.

Souza went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Souza operated out of the leadoff spot and delivered a timely two-bagger in a five-run fourth that extended the Rays' lead to 6-1. The slugging outfielder has gotten July off to a strong start, hitting safely in the first three games of the month and driving in four runs over that span on the strength of four extra-base hits (three doubles, one home run). Souza also wrapped up June with a 2-for-4 effort against the Orioles last Friday that featured a three-run blast, giving him an impressive six RBI over his last four contests overall.

Souza went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer and two runs Saturday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Souza cranked out his 16th bomb of the campaign to help lead the Rays to a road victory. He's now hit five homers over his last 15 games, and he's provided fantasy owners with solid value, especially based on his .500 slugging percentage.
