Rays Add Veteran Slater to Outfield

The Tampa Bay Rays just added veteran outfielder Austin Slater on a minor league deal, sending him straight to the majors to fill a critical gap caused by injuries. Slater, with ten big league seasons under his belt and a hot bat in Triple-A, is ready to contribute immediately — batting second in Monday’s game. A versatile player who can cover all three outfield spots, he’s been hitting well and has a knack for left-handed pitching. The Rays also moved Jonathan Heasley to the injured list to make room, highlighting how urgent this move is. With Slater’s experience and power potential, he could be the spark the Rays need as they navigate a tough stretch. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
