ST. PETERSBURG -- There are many ways to describe Rays ace Drew Rasmussen. He is tremendously talented. He is metronomically consistent. He is remarkably motivated. He is doggedly dedicated to his craft. He is still, somehow, even as a two-time All-Star, incredibly underrated.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Yankees and Rays have shared the field for plenty of memorable moments, tightly contested games and deeply rooted disagreements over the years. They are natural rivals in the American League East, pitting New York’s history and high-payroll dominance against Tampa Bay’s ingenuity and lower-budget success. They’ve

ST. PETERSBURG -- After two disappointing years, the Rays are back in the postseason and back atop the toughest division in baseball.

Turn on the American League Division Series this weekend and spend a few innings watching the AL-best Rays, a 98-win machine, and you might notice something peculiar. In an era of baseball where it is exceedingly difficult -- and, seemingly, less of a priority -- to put the ball in

ST. PETERSBURG -- There are few players in baseball as electrifying or entertaining as Rays third baseman Junior Caminero. He swings hard. He hits the ball hard. He hits the ball a lot. He plays hard. He plays a lot, having started at third base this season in each of

The MLB postseason is a land of opportunity. Each of the 12 remaining teams' records have now reverted to 0-0, and any club could get hot at the right time and ride the wave to a World Series. The Dodgers won their second consecutive title in 2025, the first franchise

There’s more than one way to build a winning baseball club. You can rely almost exclusively on homegrown talent, like the Guardians are doing this year with 16 players on their projected postseason roster coming from the Draft or international signing processes. You can be active traders like the Rays

The 2026 Minor League season was one for the record books … literally. Across the Minors, dozens of exclusive statistical clubs were infiltrated by this year's crop of young stars. The Brewers' Andrew Fischer mashed 48 regular-season homers, the most in MiLB since 1982, (and two in the postseason). A

PHILADELPHIA -- The 162-game marathon is over. Next comes the sprint through October.

PHILADELPHIA -- Junior Caminero has put up a lot of big, impressive numbers as the best player on the American League’s best team. There are three that mean a lot to him: 40, 100 and 162.

Major League Baseball on Monday launched the ballot for the official All-MLB Team, which recognizes and commemorates the top performances by players during the 2026 regular season.

And then there were 12. Two spots were clinched on the final day of the season, and however difficult it may have been for the Phillies and Astros to get in, and however much their fans may have had to sweat the last day, all that is behind them now:

PHILADELPHIA – Rays starter Griffin Jax exited Saturday night’s 12-1 win over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park after taking a 104 mph comebacker off his lower back in the third inning. Jax sustained only a lower back contusion, and he does not expect the injury to affect his postseason

PHILADELPHIA – It looks like the next time we’ll see Chandler Simpson will be in his postseason debut next weekend. The Rays’ speedy left fielder was not in the starting lineup on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park after fouling a ball hard off the top of his right foot

PHILADELPHIA -- This weekend’s series at Citizens Bank Park doesn’t really matter for the Rays. They have clinched everything they can clinch. They’ll have nearly a week to recover, rest, set their roster and set up their pitching plans before the American League Division Series begins. But they recognize how

NEW YORK -- The Rays haven’t made any decisions regarding their starting rotation for the upcoming American League Division Series, manager Kevin Cash said Thursday afternoon. They have time, with more than a week to go before Game 1 on Oct. 3, and they have options.

NEW YORK -- The Rays have won the American League East race. They just haven’t technically reached the finish line yet. They still have four more regular-season games to play after Wednesday night’s 9-2 loss at Yankee Stadium. But aside from potentially boosting their chances for home-field advantage in the
