It should be noted that both Palacios and Vilade are capable of manning infield positions and are in play for second base roles with Lux on the injured list with a shoulder injury, while short stop should be primarily manned by Williams following an oblique strain for Walls.<\/p>\n

To make room, reliever Wilson \u2014 acquired from the White Sox alongside reliever Gomez in the OF Everson Pereira\/UTIL Tanner Murray trade \u2014 was moved to the 60-day injured list with a lower back injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tampa Bay Rays have officially finalized the 26-man roster for the 2026 season, including six players to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2377],"tags":[5,4806,13151,607,17802,7882,1999,6925,182,1099,6439,21295,2540,12626,1398,4682,1158,7533,4,14362,1928,2145,761,11780,297,1956,18332,5720,1555,4274,295,2550,68,2551,2549,70,5824,396,3348],"class_list":["post-643969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa-bay-rays","tag-baseball","tag-ben-williamson","tag-bryan-baker","tag-cam-booser","tag-carson-williams","tag-cole-sulser","tag-drew-rasmussen","tag-edwin-uceta","tag-florida","tag-garrett-cleavinger","tag-griffin-jax","tag-ian-seymour","tag-injured-list","tag-joe-boyle","tag-jonny-deluca","tag-junior-caminero","tag-lux","tag-mason-englert","tag-mlb","tag-nathan-ray","tag-nathan-ray-seebeck-imagn","tag-nick-fortes","tag-nick-martinez","tag-palacios","tag-rays","tag-ryan-pepiot","tag-ryan-vilade","tag-shane-mcclanahan","tag-steven-matz","tag-steven-wilson","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay","tag-tampa-bay-rays","tag-tampabay","tag-tampabayrays","tag-toronto-blue-jays","tag-usa","tag-white-sox","tag-yandy-diaz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=643969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/643969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=643969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=643969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=643969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
