ALCS notebook: Rays 3B Junior Caminero OK after on-field collision
Manager Kevin Cash said Caminero was fine after the collision, and the Rays’ All-Star third baseman stayed in the game.
- On Monday, Tampa Bay Rays All-Star third baseman Junior Caminero collided with outfielder Jonny DeLuca chasing a foul ball during the ninth inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series. Caminero remained in the game after receiving attention from trainers.
- Rays manager Kevin Cash reported postgame that Caminero is "OK" after the collision, explaining that he simply had the "wind knocked out of him." The team avoided a major injury scare during the 7-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
- The collision occurred against the Cleveland Guardians, the organization that originally signed Caminero before trading him to Tampa Bay in 2021. Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti admitted the move was a "bad trade."
- Tampa Bay adjusted its 26-man roster for the ALCS, dropping left-handed reliever Garrett Cleavinger and adding prospect Brody Hopkins, 24. Hopkins demonstrated strong command in recent intrasquad scrimmages to earn his spot.
- Key contributor Yandy Diaz led the team with a career-high 180 hits this year and remains vital for Tampa Bay's postseason run. Diaz, also a former Cleveland player, expressed gratitude for his role in the organization's history.
