The Rays are set to promote outfielder Austin Slater from Triple-A Durham as they prepare for a series against left-handed pitchers. To make room on the 40-man roster, righty Jon Heasley may be shifted to the 60-day IL due to an elbow injury, while outfielder Jake Fraley could also be a candidate after recent surgery. Slater, who has struggled in the majors this season, has been performing well in Durham with a .348 average. He has a solid career batting line of .263 against left-handed pitching, making him a valuable asset for the upcoming matchups.
