Rays Call Up Top Prospect Junior Caminero Amid Playoff Push

  • Caminero was batting .324 with 31 home runs and 94 RBIs in Double-A this season.
  • The 20-year-old infielder is considered the No. 5 overall prospect in baseball.
  • Tampa Bay is currently 1.5 games behind Baltimore in the AL East standings.
  • The move comes as the Rays deal with injuries and the absence of All-Star shortstop Wander Franco.
  • Caminero will likely play third base but can also fill in at shortstop for the playoff-bound Rays.
