The Rays will face the Toronto Blue Jays in the second matchup of their four-game series Friday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Tampa Bay started the week with three consecutive losses against the Houston Astros during which the Rays managed two runs total.
The Rays -- 50-28 at home -- joined the Astros and the New York Yankees as the only AL clubs to reach the half-century mark in home wins.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said an injured-list stint for Ryan Yarbrough (right oblique strain) is "highly likely" after the left-hander was removed from the Thursday game.
The Blue Jays lost for the fifth time in their past 20 road games.
Toronto's Mitch White (1-6, 5.05 ERA) will start Friday. The right-hander is 0-4 with a 7.47 ERA in seven games (six starts) for the Blue Jays since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 2.
In the second game of the four-game series, Tampa Bay will send out its most reliable pitcher of late, reliever-turned-starter Jeffrey Springs (9-4, 2.45 ERA).
