Tristan Gray’s seventh-inning solo blast lifts the Rays to a 5-4 win over the White Sox, as Tampa Bay leans on midseason depth after Adrian Houser’s return to the scene. Chicago struck early with Kyle Teel’s 405-foot homer, but Gray’s clutch shot and a Rays offensive burst—Josh Lowe and Richie Palacios go deep—settle the late-seeing narrative. The game also highlights a July trade that sent Houser from Chicago to Tampa Bay, a move that reverberates through the pitching dominoes for both sides.

For fantasy players, the storyline centers on Rays depth and the White Sox’s incremental contributors. Gray’s breakout moment and the continued value of bench depth in Tampa Bay contrast with Chicago’s midseason shuffles and impact from veterans like Benintendi, whose RBI tied the game before the decisive swing. This game underscores how back-of-rotation or minors-to-major moves can tilt tight matchups in late-season fantasy decisions.
