  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Hits first major-league home run

    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.

    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.

The third baseman ends the regular season with a .274/.327/.437 slash line, 97 RBI, 74 runs scored, four stolen bases and 31 doubles over 145 games.

    Hayes went 2-for-5 with two doubles and a run in Saturday's loss to Miami, which will end up being his final start of the year. The 26-year-old took a step forward at the plate in 2023 with 15 homers and a .273/.310/.455 slash line in 124 games.

  • Yoan Moncada 3B | LAA

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Sitting Sunday

    Moncada is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres.

    He will open the final game of the season on the bench, with Lenyn Sosa getting the nod at the hot corner. Moncada played in only 92 games this year due mostly to a major back injury, but he finished extremely strong, slashing .316/.358/.553 with eight home runs over his final 42 games.

  • Eugenio Suarez DH | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Belts 22nd homer in loss

    Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

    Suarez's eighth-inning solo blast was bittersweet in that it served as the only run of the night for the Mariners in a loss that eliminated Seattle from postseason contention. The homer also snapped a power drought for Suarez, who'd last left the yard Sept. 15. With 96 runs driven in on the season, Suarez enters Sunday's regular-season finale with an outside chance of reaching the 100-RBI mark for the third time in his career and first time since 2019.
