Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero will open the season as the team's starting third baseman. After rocketing up the prospect ranks all the way to No. 1 overall and teasing fantasy managers with two short MLB cameos, we finally get to see a season's worth of what the youngster has to offer. The calling card is prodigious power, blasting 31 home runs in 460 at-bats across two levels of the minors as a 19-year-old in 2023, then another 16 last season in only 234 at-bats as a 20-year-old before his call-up. The Dominican slugged .424 with six home runs in the majors in 165 at-bats at the end of the 2024 season, registering an 11.8% Barrel% and lacing a ball with a 116.3 exit velocity, which was one of the 15 hardest-hit balls all year. With a full season of at-bats, the 21-year-old should approach 30 home runs, and hitting in the top of the Rays' lineup will afford plenty of RBI opportunities. The right-handed hitter is currently ranked at 96 overall at RotoBaller, slightly ahead of his NFBC ADP of 101, but possesses the talent to finish well ahead of that.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero stayed hot in a 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Thursday. Caminero went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in the loss. The 21-year-old infielder is off to a hot start this season, hitting .288 with five homers, 13 runs, and 11 RBI across 66 at-bats. Caminero is emerging as a quality fantasy hitter early in the season and should have a spot in most starting lineups moving forward as he appears to be in the early stages of a breakout season.--Matt T - RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero went 2-for-5 with a home run during their demanding 16-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday evening. Caminero tallied a one-run single in the third inning, which scored Jake Mangum. Later in the fifth, Caminero would go deep for the fourth time this season. This was the budding star's third-straight game hitting a long ball. During this impressive power surge, Caminero has tallied six RBI and held a .417/.462/1.167 slash line. Before the surge, Caminero held a modest .256/.283/.372 line over the first 12 games of the campaign. Under the hood, he has generated an impressive .488 xSLG with a stellar 78.8 mph bat speed, which suggests his power numbers should continue to climb. He remains a must-start option in all formats going forward.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero had a massive three-run blast in the sixth inning that broke open his team's 8-3 win over the Braves. The 413-foot blast to left center was Caminero's third homer of the year. He also singled and scored in the first inning to go 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. On the season, the 21-year-old top prospect is now hitting .280 (14-for-50) with three home runs, a .220 ISO, and a .352 wOBA. Caminero has a solid 46.2% hard-hit rate and will try to keep crushing as his Rays welcome in the Red Sox for an AL East series starting on Monday night. He'll look to build on his success from last week, when he went 7-for-22 (.318) with four of those hits going for extra bases, including all three of his home runs this season.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is not in Tampa Bay's lineup for Saturday night in Arlington against right-hander Jacob deGrom and the Rangers. There are no reports of an injury for Caminero, so it's likely just a routine day off for the 21-year-old, who has appeared in all seven games for the Rays this season. He has gone 7-for-25 (.280) with a double, two walks, and an RBI. He has yet to record a barrel, and his hard-hit rate is down from last year, but there's no cause for alarm just yet. The team will remain committed to playing him most days at the hot corner, but Curtis Mead will start in his place on Saturday.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller
