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

Tampa Bay Rays third base prospect Junior Caminero continues to dominate Triple-A pitching and went 4-for-5 with three RBI and two homers in Sunday's contest for Triple-A Durham. Caminero is now hitting .313 with four homers and 12 RBI in just 41 at-bats. Despite being sideling with a quad injury earlier in the season, Caminero hasn't skipped a beat and continues to dominate as arguably the top prospect in the game. The money savvy Rays are beginning to run out of excuses for keeping Caminero on the farm and fantasy managers await the day that they decide to promote the young budding star. Caminero should be rostered in all formats with his ability to make good contact with strong power.

Tampa Bay Rays third base prospect Junior Caminero returned to the lineup on Sunday with a bang. After being activated from the 7-day injured list with a quad injury that kept him sidelined, Caminero did not miss a beat by going 2-for-6 with a home run and five RBI. The 20-year-old is rated a Top-5 prospect universally and many can argue that he is not in the big leagues due to service time and not performance at this point. With Brandon Lowe (oblique), Jonathan Aranda (finger) and Taylor Wells (hip) all on the injured list, Caminero might force his way up to the big leagues by continuing to perform as he has. Caminero offers good contact and power and should be rostered in all formats when he indeed does get promoted.

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps) was activated off of the injured list at Triple-A Durham on Sunday. Caminero will start at third base and bat second for Sunday's game against Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 20-year-old is the Rays top prospect and the No. 4 overall prospect in all of baseball. While the injury derailed his season slightly, Caminero should still be up in the majors at some point in 2024. He is worthy of a stash spot in deeper leagues and is a cornerstone piece in dynasty formats.

Tampa Bay Rays infield prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps), who is on the seven-day injured list at Triple-A Durham, took a full session of live batting practice and also took ground balls at third base on Tuesday. He's eligible to come off the injured list now and is closing in on a return to action if he doesn't have any setbacks. The 20-year-old is the team's top prospect and the No. 4 overall prospect in all of baseball, per MLB Pipeline, but the Rays are known to slow-play their youngsters. That might be especially true for Caminero now that he's coming off an early season injury. But even then, the Dominican should play for the Ray sooner than later in 2024 after making his big-league debut last year. His high prospect pedigree makes him stash-worthy in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed third baseman Junior Caminero (quadriceps) on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Durham on Monday. A left quad strain is the diagnosis after an MRI for Caminero, who was forced from Sunday's Triple-A game with the injury but could return to action in the minor leagues as soon as he's first eligible next week. This shouldn't disrupt the 20-year-old No. 4 prospect's, per MLB Pipeline, journey to the majors very much, as he's still projected to make his 2024 debut during the early stages of the campaign. Although the setback makes him a bit more difficult to stash in redraft leagues, Caminero is slashing .333/.429/.583 with one home run, two RBI, and one stolen base across 14 plate appearances in the minors so far this year and carries loads of fantasy upside as a hitter.
