TAMPA, Fla. — A third Tampa Bay Rays players has been selected for the All-Star Game in Atlanta.
Third baseman Junior Caminero was announced as an injury replacement on the AL roster for Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman.
Once a top prospect for the Rays, the 22-year-old is now in the middle of his first full season with the team after a short stint in 2023 and being called up midseason in 2024.
Caminero currently has a batting average of .255, 21 home runs, 57 RBIs, and a .799 OPS.
He will join fellow teammates Jonathan Aranda and Brandon Lowe in his first trip to the Midsummer Classic.
