Caminero went 4-for-5 with a double, two home runs and three RBI on Sunday with Triple-A Durham.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero was sidelined for two weeks early in the season with a quad injury. In nine games since, he's gone 11-for-36 with seven extra-base hits while striking out at a 23.1 percent clip. The Rays have had a mediocre lineup, and Jonathan Aranda (finger) is nearing a return, but Caminero should still make his way to Tampa Bay at some point in the current campaign.

Triple-A Durham reinstated Caminero (quadricep) from its 7-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against Lehigh Valley.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero will make his return to the Triple-A lineup for the first time since March 31 after he injured his left quad in Durham's season-opening series. Before getting hurt, Caminero went 4-for-12 with a home run, two walks and one stolen base in three games with Durham. The 20-year-old will play on an everyday basis for Durham and will likely be the top option for a promotion if the Rays lose one of their regular infielders for any length of time down the road.

Caminero (quadriceps) could return from the 7-day injured list by this weekend, Marc Topkin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero landed on the injured list after his third game with Triple-A Durham but is nearing a return after engaging in a workout Tuesday without issue. While the Rays appear intent on giving him some plate appearances in the minors, their plans could change with each of Brandon Lowe (oblique), Jonathan Aranda (finger) and Taylor Walls (hip) sidelined.

Caminero (quad) took batting practice and fielded grounders prior to Triple-A Durham's game Tuesday, Patrick Kinas of Westwood One Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero is eligible for activation from the 7-day injured list now and his return looks to be imminent as long as he can avoid a setback with his left quad. The 20-year-old went 4-for-12 with a home run in his first three games for Durham before getting injured. All three starts for Caminero came at third base.

Caminero (quadriceps) was placed on the 7-day injured list Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Topkin notes that this is relatively good news for Caminero, who was diagnosed with a left quad strain after being lifted from Sunday's action with Triple-A Durham. If all goes well, Caminero could return to play sometime next week.

Caminero suffered a left quadriceps injury Sunday in Triple-A Durham's game against Norfolk, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to exiting the contest, Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a single, a walk and two runs scored. He pulled up lame running to first base before having to be helped off the field. The Rays' top prospect is expected to undergo further evaluation Monday, and his status moving forward will be worth monitoring. Any time Caminero might have to spend on Durham's 7-day injured list would obviously delay any potential promotion to the majors.

The Rays optioned Caminero to minor-league camp Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The top prospect got a cup of coffee with Tampa Bay last season, but the feeling has been for a while that Caminero was destined for Triple-A Durham to begin 2024. The 20-year-old will be making his first stop at Durham, as he skipped over that level when he was promoted in 2023. Caminero still has a good shot to spend ample time in the majors in 2024, particularly if he can make some strides with his defense.

Caminero is unlikely to crack the Rays' Opening Day roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero made his major-league debut in late September of last year, skipping over the Triple-A level. That promotion was made in part due to need, though, and the fact that he's just 20 and has only 81 games of Double-A experience and zero Triple-A experience under his belt points to more seasoning required. Caminero forcing his way onto the roster with a dominant spring training can't be ruled out, but fantasy managers should expect him to spend some time back in the minors first.

Caminero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero did make the Rays' roster, but he will not be in the lineup for the series opener after starting the final seven regular-season games. Tampa Bay is going with Taylor Walls at shortstop and Curtis Mead at second base Tuesday.

Caminero went 2-for-6 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 12-8 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Caminero got an RBI single in the second and then launched an opposite field home run off Tim Mayza in the fifth for his first big-league blast. The 20-year-old phenom slashed .235/.278/.353 with seven RBI, four runs and a 2:8 BB:K in 36 plate appearances after he was called up. He should be in the mix to make the postseason roster for the Rays.
