The Rays acquired Mesa from the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Angel Brachi.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa made his big-league debut in 2025, appearing in 16 games with the Marlins and slashing .188/.297/.344 across 38 plate appearances. The 24-year-old had a strong .887 OPS across 171 plate appearances at Triple-A Jacksonville in 2025. The young outfielder will look to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster.

The Marlins designated Mesa for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old received his first taste of the big leagues in 2025 but struggled in 16 games, going 6-for-32 (.188 average) with one home run and a 5:5 BB:K. Mesa had a .303/.374/.513 slash line across 42 Triple-A games and could generate some interest on the waiver wire.

Mesa was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, per the MLB's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa will return to Jacksonville after being called up Aug. 31, batting .200 with one home run, five RBI and six runs scored over 25 at-bats in 12 contests following his promotion. The transaction makes room for Dane Myers (oblique) on the 28-man roster after Myers was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Mesa will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Mesa was on the bench against Mets right-hander Kodai Senga in his first game with the Marlins after being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 31, but the young outfielder has now cracked the lineup for five straight matchups with righties. Since his call-up, Mesa has gone 5-for-15 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and four runs. At least until Kyle Stowers (oblique) and/or Griffin Conine (shoulder) potentially return from the injured list, Mesa should continue to hold down a regular spot in the lineup versus righties.

Mesa went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 15-7 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The Miami rookie cracked a 394-foot, three-run homer off Washington reliever Shinnosuke Ogasawara in the eighth. Mesa had flashed marginal power in Triple-A this season prior to his promotion, popping six long balls in 143 plate appearances. The 24-year-old has been drawing occasional starts at the bottom of the lineup since being recalled Aug. 31, as he's hit .238 (5-for-21) with four RBI and four runs scored.

The Marlins recalled Mesa from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old will join the Marlins for the second time this season, taking the roster spot of Dane Myers (oblique), who was placed on the injured list. Mesa appeared in just four games during his first MLB stint in May, going 1-for-7 with two walks in four games. He could receive consistent playing time down the stretch with Miami likely looking to evaluate talent heading into 2026.

The Marlins optioned Mesa to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
In four games after earning his first MLB call-up, Mesa went 1-for-7 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored. With Xavier Edwards (back) now back from the injured list, Mesa will end up as the roster casualty necessary to create room on the 26-man. However, he could certainly end up back in Miami before the end of the season if his excellent play at Triple-A (1.025 OPS) continues.

Mesa went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first career start in the majors, Mesa battled Stephen Kolek to a full count in his first plate appearance before pulling an RBI single into right field in the first inning. The 23-year-old switch hitter got the start in center field and hit eighth for the Marlins in his debut, and with Derek Hill (wrist) and Dane Myers (oblique) both on the injured list at least into early June, Mesa could see regular playing time in the short term before he'll be in danger of getting returned to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Mesa is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and made his major-league debut as a pinch hitter Monday, though he struck out in both of his plate appearances. He'll look to get better results Tuesday as he makes the first start of his major-league career against Padres right-hander Stephen Kolek.

Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa is ready for his big-league debut after being slowed by a right hamstring strain earlier this season. The 23-year-old will take the roster spot of Derek Hill (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Mesa will presumably see opportunities in center field with both Hill and Dane Myers (oblique) on the injured list, though he's also made four starts in left field at Triple-A Jacksonville this year.
