Jose Siri Blasts Two Homers On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri is having a series to remember against the Oakland Athletics. The 28-year-old was the hero in Wednesday's win and he brought more theatrics to the park on Thursday. Siri was 2-for-5 with two solo home runs, including a game-tying shot in the ninth inning off of Mason Miller. While […]

Jeffrey Springs Throws On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs (elbow, lat) threw long toss on Thursday and made 45 throws out to 90 feet, just five days after being shut down. Lat soreness caused Springs to be pulled from his second minor-league rehab outing last Saturday while pitching in the Florida Complex League at the rookie level. The […]

Josh Lowe Could Rejoin Rays Next Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) will play for Triple-A Durham from Friday through Sunday this weekend, and if all goes well and he feels good, he will come off the injured list to rejoin the team on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. Lowe is on the 10-day injured list for the second time […]

Zach Eflin Could Return To Rotation Next Week

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zach Eflin (back) was throwing off the mound on Thursday and has a "ramped-up bullpen session" likely scheduled for Sunday in Baltimore, according to manager Kevin Cash. If Eflin comes out of Sunday's session without any setbacks, he could make his return from the injured list to rejoin the starting rotation […]

Shawn Armstrong Making The Start Against A's

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Shawn Armstrong is listed as the starter for the team's game on Thursday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. Armstrong is serving as the opener for this contest for Tampa, with left-hander Tyler Alexander expected to take over as the bulk reliever after Armstrong goes an inning or two. The 33-year-old has […]

Brandon Lowe Retreats To The Bench

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe will retreat to the bench on Thursday against the visiting Oakland Athletics with a left-handed pitcher on the mound.

Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash (Week 10): Redraft Rankings

The prospect front continues to be rather quiet lately in terms of promotions. Over the last week or so, we've seen Marco Luciano return to the Majors, along with the promotions of Johnathan Rodriguez in Cleveland and Ryan Bliss in Seattle, but that's about it. In fact, the biggest prospect name to change levels was […]

Xavier Isaac Hits Ninth Home Run Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman prospect Xavier Isaac went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run for High-A Bowling Green on Wednesday. The home run was his ninth of the season, and the powerful lefty is now slashing .279/.367/.544 on the year, even chipping in nine stolen bases along the way. The former first-round […]

Pete Fairbanks Records Win After Walk-Off Hit Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks (1-2) picked up the win after the Rays walked it off for a 4-3 victory in the ninth inning Wednesday night. Fairbanks was able to work around a leadoff double to Miguel Andujar to give up no runs and didn't even need a strikeout to do so. Since Fairbanks […]

Junior Caminero Placed On Injured List, Could Miss 4-6 Weeks

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) was placed on the injured list Wednesday afternoon in the minors, resulting from a quad strain he suffered on the last play of Tuesday night's game. He's expected to miss the next four to six weeks. Caminero had been playing well at Triple-A Durham. In 153 plate […]

Should I Stash Junior Caminero In Redraft Leagues? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook

Junior Caminero wasn't incredible in his first MLB action in 2023, hitting just .235/.278/.353 in 36 plate appearances, good for a wRC+ of 77. But considering he struck out just eight times and wasn't completely unplayable at age 20, the potential remains tantalizing for the consensus top-five prospect. But, in a redraft league, should you […]

Should I Stash Shane Baz In Redraft Leagues? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook

Shane Baz was drafted in the first round of the 2017 Draft, but after working his way to the majors and even tasting success, injuries have delayed his promising young career.

Yandy Diaz Drops To Two-Hole

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz has been dropped from leadoff to the two-hole on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics and right-hander Mitch Spence.

Chandler Simpson Mashing At Double-A

Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect Chandler Simpson was recently promoted to Double-A and has already looked quite comfortable through his first six games.

Shota Imanaga has been baffling hitters consistently throughout the year. From a fantasy baseball perspective, managers must identify pitchers who have […]

New Pitcher Bat Speed Metrics and Whether They Matter for Fantasy Baseball

The new bat speed metrics have been all the rage in the fantasy baseball and real-life baseball community.
