The Rays released Seymour on Wednesday so that he could pursue an opportunity to play in Asia.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay designated Seymour for assignment Thursday, and rather than looking for another opportunity with an MLB club, the 27-year-old will take his talents across the Pacific Ocean. Seymour posted a .535 OPS in 83 plate appearances with the Rays in 2025, but he slashed .263/.327/.553 with 30 homers, 87 RBI and 70 runs scored across 105 games at Triple-A Durham.

The Rays designated Seymour for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Seymour saw extended big-league action to close the regular season, and he slashed .205/.253/.282 with a 38.6 percent K rate across 83 plate appearances. It was a disappointing MLB debut for the first baseman who launched 30 homers at Triple-A Durham before being called up. He'll now be exposed to waivers, though he could remain with the Rays if he goes unclaimed.

Seymour will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seymour appears to have re-emerged as the Rays' preferred option at first base, as he'll pick up his fourth start in Tampa Bay's last five matchups with right-handed pitchers. The rookie is still slashing a lowly .208/.236/.321 over 55 plate appearances in the majors this season and will be at risk of losing out on his strong-side platoon role if Jonathan Aranda (wrist) returns from the injured list next week.

Seymour is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Seymour will take a seat for the fourth game in a row, with three of his absences coming against right-handed pitching. He appears to have settled into a reserve role while the Rays give Richie Palacios a look as their primary option at first base. Since his Aug. 15 call-up from Triple-A Durham, Seymour has slashed .200/.238/.300 with a 38.1 percent strikeout rate in 42 plate appearances.

Seymour is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
It's righty Luis Castillo toeing the rubber for the Mariners, but the left-handed-hitting Seymour will nonetheless begin the festivities on the bench. Yandy Diaz is handling first base and Richie Palacios will be the designated hitter for the Rays.

Seymour is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guardians right-handed starter Slade Cecconi has slight reverse splits, which helps explain why the left-handed-hitting Seymour will sit against a righty for the first time since he was promoted from Triple-A Durham earlier this month. Yandy Diaz will handle first base in Wednesday's rubber match.
