BOSTON -- Rays designated hitter Yandy Díaz reached a personal milestone in his team's 8-4 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night at Fenway Park, collecting career hit No. 1,000. But the milestone knock wasn’t his only hit in the game. Díaz led off the fifth inning with career

So often, the most memorable part of a Junior Caminero home run is what comes after the swing: the bat flip, the celebration, the slow trot around the bases. But the swing -- the swing itself is just as unique. The Rays star has the most extreme swing in the

The 2026 Draft is taking longer to sort itself out than teams hoped. Shortstops Roch Cholowsky (UCLA) and Grady Emerson (Fort Worth Christian HS in Texas) have set themselves apart from the rest of the class. The second tier of prospects consists of catcher Vahn Lackey (Georgia Tech) and right-hander

ST. PETERSBURG -- Shane McClanahan and the Rays had plenty to talk about after a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon at Tropicana Field. They could have raved about McClanahan’s continued dominance in his return from 2 1/2 seasons lost to injuries. They could have gone on

This page will be updated throughout the season with all the latest Rays injury news and transactions.

The saying goes that relievers are failed starters. If you believe that, revisit how much the Padres gave up for Mason Miller at last year’s Trade Deadline, and then look at Miller’s dominance to begin his first full season in San Diego. After that, look at the three-year, $69 million

ST. PETERSBURG -- The way the Rays are pitching right now, you can’t ever count them out of a game. That was once again the case on Tuesday night, as the Rays overcame an early two-run deficit and came back again by stringing together four hits in the eighth inning

ST. PETERSBURG -- Add another pitching injury to the list for the Rays. Four days after announcing that starter Ryan Pepiot will soon undergo season-ending surgery on his right hip, the Rays placed left-hander Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday due to left elbow inflammation.

ST. PETERSBURG -- Ryan Vilade was hardly a known commodity before this season. The 27-year-old had played in only 28 Major League games for four teams over parts of three seasons, with nine hits and a single home run to his name. The Rays acquired him from the Reds in

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays couldn’t have asked for a much better setup in the 10th inning Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field. After Tampa Bay tied the score in the eighth, Bryan Baker pitched a clean ninth, and lefty Ian Seymour didn’t even let the Giants’ automatic runner advance to

ST. PETERSBURG -- When the Rays are rolling, they’ll win a lot of games the way they won Saturday night against the Giants. No one in the lineup homered. Nobody had a three-hit game. No pitcher recorded more than nine outs. If you want to pick a defensive play of

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays appear to be moving one important arm out of their bullpen, as right-hander Griffin Jax continued his transition into the rotation with a start against the Giants, but they brought back another important late-inning reliever on Saturday. The Rays reinstated left-hander Garrett Cleavinger from the

ST. PETERSBURG -- Designated hitter Yandy Díaz exited the Rays’ 3-0 win against the Giants on Friday night at Tropicana Field after two at-bats due to left side tightness, and he was not in the lineup Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Díaz’s status is still day to day, according to

ST. PETERSBURG -- Shane McClanahan has been wanting to share his newfound passion for fishing with his teammates for a while, but the Major League schedule affords few opportunities for offshore adventures.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays will be without starter Ryan Pepiot for the rest of the year, as manager Kevin Cash said on Friday the right-hander is set to undergo season-ending right hip surgery on May 13. Pepiot has been sidelined since the end of Spring Training due to right
