Junior Caminero Starting A Rehab Assignment
5 months agoTampa Bay Rays top prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) will start a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Tuesday. The No. 3 overall prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline, last played on May 28 for Triple-A Durham before suffering a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain. Caminero has been limited to 34 games in the minors in 2024 and has hit .261/.333/.478 with an .812 OPS, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 19 runs scored in 153 plate appearances for the Bulls. The 21-year-old made his major-league debut in 2023 and went 8-for-34 (.235) with a homer and seven RBI in seven games played. His quad injury has set him back a bit this year, and he's likely to head back to Durham when his rehab assignment is over. However, it would be a surprise if Caminero isn't brought up to the big leagues again at some point in the second half of 2024.
