Tampa Bay Rays 2026 Minor League Roundup: Week 12
This was the 12th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Tuesday, June 30th). According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), prospect Caden Bodine has taken back over as the top performer in the system. His full season stat line is further below. Meanwhile, Aidan […]

Rays, Caminero stay hot, sweep D-Backs: Rays 5, D-Backs 1
After a rather underwhelming June in which it felt at times that the Rays were in free fall destined to repeat the 2025 season spiral, they rebounded and rattled off five consecutive wins. Now, 81 games down and eight sweeps later, they again sit atop the AL East with sole possession of the division lead […]

Caminero to the moon: Rays 4, D-Backs 2
Before you could grab your hot dog, popcorn, and preferred pilsner beverage, the Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead on a Geraldo Perdomo double, Corbin Carroll single, and a whiff of a tag from catcher Hunter Feduccia. In the bottom half of the first, Junior Caminero hit a thunderous, sky-scraping blast for his sixth homer in […]
Game Thread: Man it’s hot out
Go Rays!
Strikeouts Available Upon Request: Rays 6, Diamondbacks 1
Somewhere in another baseball universe, the Arizona Diamondbacks challenge a called ball, and it gets overturned as strike three. Junior Caminero walks back to the dugout, shaking his head, and Friday night’s game unfolds a little differently. That is not the universe the Tampa Bay Rays played in on Friday night. Instead of Diamondbacks catcher […]

Rays Reacts Results: How should the Rays improve?
Another week, another reminder that being a Rays fan means constantly screaming into the void about depth (I assume you saw Matz goes back to the IL) while the front office continues to do its best impression of a magician pulling rabbits out of hats. We threw up the latest Rays Reacts survey asking the […]
Oh no! No no-no, but Rays still win: Rays 13, Royals 2
The Rays were looking to wrap up their four-game homestand against the Royals with a split series, and they would have to do it bright and early, so hopefully they all had their coffee before the game. The Rays had Casey Legumina in an Opener role on the mound, up against Seth Lugo for the […]
Game Thread: Thursday AM game against the Royals?
Go Rays!
I Love Winning, Man. It’s Like, Better Than Losing: Rays 5, Royals 3
This game was far from an attractive product as four runs were scored on defensive misplays, but the Rays added enough around the comedy of errors by both teams to come out on top in this one. The misplays began early as Jac Caglianone had delusions of grandeur turning what could have been a double […]
Game Thread: Jax is settling out a bit

DRaysBay Mailbag: June 2026
Welcome back to the mailbag! Most of the responses I got this time were centered around prospects and the state of the farm so far this year, so that will be the theme of this mailbag article. pdawd (@JeannotShowYo on Twitter/X): Who in the farm has been the most pleasant surprise and what have they […]
Rays Got Jac’d Up: Rays 5, Royals 12
Sometimes past results do not predict today’s performance. Shane McClanahan came into the night having allowed only two home runs over his last 56.0 innings pitched. Six pitches into Tuesday night’s game, he allowed two more. The game didn’t immediately start with doom and gloom. Taylor Walls made a diving play on a grounder from […]

The Wacha woes: Rays 1, Royals 2
If you were looking for offense tonight, you should have turned into the winner-take-all game three of the College World Series between Oklahoma and North Carolina, during which the Sooners scored 13 runs in a route of the Tar Heels to secure their third national championship. If instead you were looking for a low scoring […]

Tampa Bay Rays 2026 Minor League Roundup: Week 11
This was the 11th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Sunday, June 21st). According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), the Rays top overall prospect Theo Gillen has taken over at the top performer in the system. His full season stat line is further […]
Jonny DL was obviously the missing ingredient: Rays 4 Nationals 3
The Rays eked out a win over the Nationals with good pitching and defense and just enough offense to win their first series since they took two of three from the Angels a few weeks ago. Nick Martinez got the start, and while he probably isn’t, over a full season, the Cy Young caliber guy […]

There’s no place like home: Rays 5 Nationals 2
The Rays hopefully hit reset, returning to Tropicana Field with a welll-played win. Six of the runs scored by both teams came via the long ball. The Nationals managed two solo home runs in the second and third inning against Griffin Jax. Poor Brian Anderson and Dewayne Staats came with a ton of stats showing […]
