Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Tuesday against the Red Sox. Caminero homered for the first time since Aug. 31, a span of 15 games. He hit only .241 across 58 at-bats in that time to go along with four doubles and a .623 OPS. Positively, Caminero has hit primarily third in the lineup and remains an everyday player for the Rays.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Padres. Caminero walked and scored in the first inning and then gave the Rays a 5-2 lead on a 429-foot home run in the second. In his last 10 games, the 21-year-old has gone deep three times with six RBI and is slashing a solid .254/.319/.460 across 69 major-league plate appearances this season.

Caminero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers. Caminero was out of the lineup Thursday, and the rest appeared to work well for him. He went yard in the first inning for his first homer over 10 games in the majors this year, and he scored again after getting aboard on a double in the third. This was Caminero's third multi-hit effort since his Aug. 13 recall, and he's batting .265 with two extra-base hits, two RBI and two stolen bases over 39 plate appearances.

Caminero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics. For the first time since getting called up from Triple-A Durham on Aug. 13, Caminero will head to the bench, breaking a stretch of eight consecutive starts. Jose Caballero will pick up the start at third base Thursday, but Caminero is viewed as the organization's long-term answer at the hot corner and should handle a near-everyday role down the stretch.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Diamondbacks. The 21-year-old has hit the ground running, literally and figuratively, since being called up Tuesday. Over four games, Caminero is batting .385 (5-for-13) with a 3:3 BB:K, and he's also gone 2-for-2 in stolen base attempts, a surprising performance considering he'd gone only 1-for-2 in 53 games this season at Triple-A and has never swiped more than seven bags in a minor-league season. He did register a sprint speed in the 83rd percentile during his time in the majors in 2023, however, and with the Rays making the running game a point of emphasis -- they went 4-for-4 as a team on steal attempts Saturday, and sit fourth in MLB and first in the AL with 141 SBs on the season -- the top prospect could have more to offer on the basepaths. Caminero is still looking for his first extra-base hit since his promotion, but it should come soon enough considering his .222 ISO for Triple-A Durham.
