Tampa Bay Rays 2026 Minor League Roundup: Week 12
This was the 12th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Tuesday, June 30th).

MLB Reacts Results
We have the latest round of results from MLB Reacts. The first question has to do with which division leader needs to have the most urgency at the deadline: Since this poll went out, the Yankees have been surpassed in the American League East by the Tampa Bay Rays, the Mariners are now a half […]
Rays, Caminero stay hot, sweep D-Backs: Rays 5, D-Backs 1
After a rather underwhelming June in which it felt at times that the Rays were in free fall destined to repeat the 2025 season spiral, they rebounded and rattled off five consecutive wins. Now, 81 games down and eight sweeps later, they again sit atop the AL East with sole possession of the division lead […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays seize first as Junior Caminero continues historic heater
Sigh. The Rays refuse to go away. It’s not surprising. But it is infuriating, especially given the putrid state of basically the entire American League except for the Yanks and Tampa Bay. The Rays’ recent hot streak is particularly unfortutnate as the Yankees can’t buy a win right now, finishing a truly terrible four-game sweep […]
Tampa Bay Rays Sign 6-Year Veteran Infielder
The Tampa Bay Rays signed infielder Nick Madrigal to a minor league contract. It was a short trip through free agency for Madrigal, who returned to the open market just a few days earlier when he declined an outright assignment to the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A squad. The Angels Stint After missing the entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery, Madrigal signed a minor league deal with Los Angeles last winter and was selected to the active roster at the end of May. He hit a respectable...
Mind-blowing Bryce Harper feat matched by Junior Caminero’s 463-foot bomb
Tampa Bay Rays star Junior Caminero accomplished another wild feat on Sunday. This time, he did something that hadn’t been done for more than a decade. He joined Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper on a very special list. “Junior Caminero has 7 homers in his last 6 games,” MLB reporter Sarah Langs posted to X, […] The post Mind-blowing Bryce Harper feat matched by Junior Caminero’s 463-foot bomb appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Diamondbacks 1 @ Rays 5: Tampa Completes the Sweep
It was always going to be a rough outing for the Diamondbacks today. The Rays were going for the series sweep that would keep them in possession of first place in the AL East. Tampa sent Drew Rasmussen to the mound, he of the 2.62 ERA. Rasmussen wasted no time in the first inning, getting […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays retake first with fourth straight win
I wonder if it is fair to call this a belated June swoon, the Yankees losers of three straight and seven of their last ten, the offense the chief culprit as it tends to be at this stage in the season. They are on the verge of a reverse Boston Massacre, dropping the first three […]
Caminero to the moon: Rays 4, D-Backs 2
Before you could grab your hot dog, popcorn, and preferred pilsner beverage, the Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead on a Geraldo Perdomo double, Corbin Carroll single, and a whiff of a tag from catcher Hunter Feduccia. In the bottom half of the first, Junior Caminero hit a thunderous, sky-scraping blast for his sixth homer in […]
Diamondbacks 2, Tampa 4: Fish House Blues
I was initially going to call this “Bouncy Castle Blues,” because that’s what Tropicana Field reminds me of as much as anything. With its synthetic fabric top, and its weirdly springy turf, and the fact that try as we might we never seem to play competent baseball there, it seems fitting. But that would have […]
Rays sign former Twins outfielder to minor league contract
The Tampa Bay Rays added experienced outfielder Jake Cave to the organization, signing the 33-year-old to a minor league contract on Thursday. The deal was announced by Mexican League club El Aguila de Veracruz, where Cave had been playing, and MLB.com’s transactions tracker shows he has been assigned to Triple-A Durham.

Orioles Claim Dom Keegan, Designate Kyle Nicolas

Orioles minor league recap 6/27: Kremer with a scoreless rehab start
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 Rehabbing major leaguer Dean Kremer gave this one a good shove, with 6.2 scoreless innings where he gave up only two hits and a walk, notching eight strikeouts along the way. This was an efficient outing as well, as it only took him 79 pitches to do all […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays back within a game of AL East lead
The Yankees were asleep at the wheel last night, getting retired in order through five innings before finally getting a hit in the sixth, and losing a 6-1 dud in Boston. I will be upfront in that I had other plans and was spared from watching it, but from what I’ve gathered and reviewed, I […]
Personal Milestone Check-In: Halfway Edition
Introduction In the latest example of the linear passage of time, it’s already the halfway point of the baseball season as the D-Backs played their 81st game today in their loss against the Rays. This first half of the season has featured some high highs and some even lower lows. It’s also continued the mystifying […]
Strikeouts Available Upon Request: Rays 6, Diamondbacks 1
Somewhere in another baseball universe, the Arizona Diamondbacks challenge a called ball, and it gets overturned as strike three. Junior Caminero walks back to the dugout, shaking his head, and Friday night’s game unfolds a little differently. That is not the universe the Tampa Bay Rays played in on Friday night. Instead of Diamondbacks catcher […]
Diamondbacks 1, Rays 6: “Impressive” Game
Game Summary Impressive was the word that Steve Berthiaume kept coming back to when describing Zac Gallen’s start tonight. Can’t say many Diamondbacks fans would agree with that assessment; the ‘Pit sure wasn’t buying it. To be fair, Zac Gallen had one of his best in-game stretches of the season, setting down 15 straight at […]
