Junior Caminero's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) has been activated from the seven-day minor-league injured list and has rejoined Triple-A Durham for the start of the second half of the season on Friday. Caminero, who has been out with a Grade 2 left-quadriceps strain since late May, looked good with three home runs in six rehab games in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and will now continue on with the Bulls as he hopes to get a major-league call-up in the second half. Tampa's No. 1 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, should make his return to the majors in 2024 at some point after going 8-for-34 (.235) with a homer and seven RBI in his debut for the Rays over seven games in 2023. The 21-year-old has hit .261 (36-for-138) with eight homers and 24 RBI in 34 games for Durham this year and is worth stashing in most fantasy leagues due to his elite exit velocities and power.

Tampa Bay Rays third base prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) is 4-for-17 during his rehab stint for the FCL Rays. Three of his four hits have been home runs and he's recorded five RBI. Caminero could be ready to return to Triple-A Durham once the team returns from their All-Star break. Once he gets back into action with Durham he could make a quick progression to the major leagues. He just needs to demonstrate that he is back to full health and a big-league debut could be on the way. Caminero is arguably the prospect to stash in the second half of the season.

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero (quad) went deep for the third time in his fifth rehab game on Monday for the Rays' Rookie-level Florida Complex affiliate. The 21-year-old added a double in the contest and now all four of his rehab hits have gone for extra bases (4-for-15, .267). Baseball's third-ranked prospect is expected to join Triple-A Durham after the All-Star break. Before he went down with the quad injury, Caminero was slashing .261/.333/.478 with eight home runs for Durham. Look for Caminero to get a call back to the big leagues later this season, and if available, the talented power hitter should be stashed in most leagues.

On Tuesday, Tampa Bay Rays top prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) took the field for the first time since he suffered a quad injury on May 28. Rehabbing with the Rays' Rookie-Ball team, the young infielder went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer. This is certainly a positive sign for Caminero and the Rays' organization. However, he'll likely head back to Triple-A Durham once his rehab assignment concludes. Still, it'd be surprising not to see him in the big leagues at some point this year. According to MLB.com, Caminero is currently the No. 3 prospect in all of baseball.

Tampa 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.
