AutoDraft Pro AI

Junior Caminero is healthy after X-rays on his left hand returned negative following a hit-by-pitch incident during the All-Star Game. Struck by a 98 mph pitch from Riley O’Brien, Caminero initially feared a fracture but is now expected to be in the lineup for both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. The 23-year-old Rays star, who also impressed during the Home Run Derby, remains a key performer for Tampa Bay.
