Caminero went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays. The 22-year-old became the second player in franchise history to reach the 45-homer plateau, with the only other occurrence happening in 2007 when Carlos Pena cracked 46 long balls. Caminero launched a solo shot off Toronto starter Shane Bieber in the second to tie the game at 1-1. The Tampa Bay third baseman has been a steady source of power all season and is now slashing .262/.307/.536 with 110 RBI and 93 runs scored through 644 plate appearances.

Caminero is starting at third base and batting third Sunday against the Red Sox. Caminero, who missed a couple games with a back issue before returning Saturday, is batting .284/.333/.597 with five home runs and a 16.7 percent strikeout rate in 18 games this month.

Caminero (back tightness) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Blue Jays. He exited Wednesday's game with back tightness and is still ailing Thursday. Tristan Gray is starting at third base and batting sixth.

Caminero was removed from Wednesday's game against Toronto due to mid-back tightness, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports. Caminero had gone 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts before his back forced him to make an early exit during the seventh inning. The Rays are already labeling him as day-to-day, which suggests the injury isn't too serious, though they may give Tristan Gray or Richie Palacios a start at third base Thursday to give Caminero extra time to recover.

Caminero went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 5-4 victory versus the Cubs. Caminero came up big in the eighth inning, blasting a 423-foot solo shot to center field to tie the score 4-4. The homer was his fourth through 12 contests in September and his 43rd overall this season. Among AL hitters, only Cal Raleigh (53) and Aaron Judge (47) have gone deep more than Caminero.
