Luke Scott

Luke Scott went 1-for-2 with his 27th RBI in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over the Red Sox.

Scott has had just one two-hit night in 14 May games, but has still managed to drive in 10 runs. He’ll bring a .233/.289/.483 triple slash into play on Thursday.

Luke Scott went 1-for-4 and drove home two runs in a losing cause against the Orioles on Saturday.

Scott’s two-run single in the sixth inning brought the Rays to within 4-3, but they couldn’t do any damage against the Orioles bullpen the rest of the way. Scott has been an impressive run producer in the early part of the season, with 24 RBI now in his first 100 at-bats.

Luke Scott’s double was the only extra base hit the Rays could muster against Dana Eveland and the Orioles on Friday, not allowing them to capitalize on the six walks they drew.

Scott finished the night 1-for-3 and came around to score a run. He’s been a solid producer out of the cleanup spot in the lineup, hitting .250 with seven homers and 22 RBI on the season. Provided that he can remain healthy, he should be a solid source of power and run production throughout the season.

Luke Scott ripped a solo homer in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees.

He struck out in his other three plate appearances, but his high drive to right field in the seventh inning found the seats. It’s his seventh longball of the year, and he’s now driven in 22. It’s clear that Scott’s surgically-repaired shoulder is no issue.

Luke Scott resumed mashing in Wednesday’s win over the Blue Jays, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam.

Just 1-for-4 entering the ninth, Scott put the cherry on top of a 12-2 win by taking Carlos Villanueva deep. Tampa’s primary designated hitter is now batting .333/.379/.741, and has posted five extra-base hits and 12 RBI in just nine games. One season after a shoulder injury sapped his power, Scott is looking primed to be a big-time contributor in mixed leagues.

Luke Scott homered for the second straight day in Sunday’s loss to the Red Sox.

That makes it two games, two homers since Scott returned from his hamstring injury. Well past the shoulder issue that sapped his power in 2011, Scott is a dark-horse candidate to sock 30 home runs in the middle of the Rays lineup.

Luke Scott went 2-for-4 with four RBI, including a three-run homer in the Rays loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.

Scott started things off with his three-run blast off of Clay Buchholz in the first inning then added an RBI double in the third inning. Scott had missed the previous five games with a hamstring issue, but returned to the lineup in a big way. He should be in the lineup on a fairly regular basis moving forward, and has always been a capable run producer when healthy.

Luke Scott (hamstring) is in Saturday’s lineup.

Scott missed the last five games but made an appearance as a pinch-hitter Friday and participated in batting practice throughout the week. Stephen Vogt will return to a bench role and be sent to Triple-A once B.J. Upton is ready to come off the disabled list.

Luke Scott returned to action on Friday April 13.
