• James Loney collected his 1,000th career hit with a double in the second inning on Tuesday night, making him the third player to attain the milestone in a Rays uniform, joining Carlos Pena (2012) and Carl Crawford (2008), and the fifth to reach the thousand-hit plateau as a member of the Rays (Fred McGriff, 2,000; Wade Boggs, 3,000).

• Wil Myers recorded his fifth straight multihit game on Tuesday night, tying Delmon Young (2007) for the Rays' rookie record. Myers is the only rookie to homer at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park this season.

• The Rays play the most road games in the Major Leagues after the All-Star break (38), beginning with their current 10-game road trip to Toronto, Boston and New York.

• Taylor Guerrieri, the Rays' No. 2 prospect as ranked by MLB.com, underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday, a procedure the club says went well. Guerrieri, the Rays' top pick (24th overall) in the 2011 Draft, was 6-2 with a 2.01 ERA in 14 starts with Class A Bowling Green before going on the disabled list on July 21.
