1 month agoThe Tampa Bay Rays are calling up infield prospect Junior Caminero, according to sources, and he will join the team on Tuesday before their game against the visiting Houston Astros. Caminero is Tampa's top prospect and the No. 2 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline, and should immediately picked up by fantasy managers in leagues where he wasn't already being stashed. The 21-year-old made his big-league debut in 2023 but only appeared in seven games, going 8-for-34 (.235) with a homer, a double and seven RBI. He recently returned to Triple-A Durham at the end of July after being out since late May with a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain and has slashed .277/.331/.498 with an .828 OPS, 13 homers and 34 RBI in 53 games with the Bulls in 2024. Caminero should play regularly for the out-of-contention Rays the rest of the way at either third or shortstop, and his high-end raw power should play immediately in all fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
