Caminero’s Hand Injury Update | Tampa Bay Rays News

Junior Caminero, Tampa Bay’s 22-year-old third baseman and key playoff contender, was hit by a 97 mph sinker during Tuesday night’s game — the pitch struck his ring and pinky fingers, forcing him to exit in pain. Just a day after reaching the Home Run Derby semifinals and launching a 491-foot homer, Caminero’s injury raised alarms for a Rays team leading the AL East. Thankfully, X-rays came back negative — no fracture — offering huge relief. The team now watches closely as they assess whether he’ll need time off before the second half begins.
