TAMPA -- Shortly after officially coming off the injured list Thursday afternoon, Richie Palacios promised that he was “ready to go.” He backed up his words in the batter’s box. Palacios had a career-high-tying three hits, stole a base and scored a run in the Rays’ 6-3 loss to the

TAMPA -- The Rays’ first matchup of the season against an American League East rival couldn’t have started on a more promising note. And it couldn’t have ended with a more frustrating finish. On Monday night, the Rays smacked the ball around George M. Steinbrenner Field and cruised to a

TAMPA -- Jake Mangum got the ball. The wall got his batting gloves. With two outs in the ninth inning of the Rays’ 1-0 loss to the Red Sox on a windy Wednesday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Mangum tracked a Carlos Narváez fly ball straight back to the

Make no bones about it, cracking the Major Leagues on Opening Day is a big deal. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in that initial roster that we lose sight of the fact that early-season callups can be just as effective whenever they occur. We’ve already seen notable prospects

TAMPA -- The first pitch the Rays' lineup saw on Monday night was a 93.3 mph sinker from Tanner Houck. Yandy Díaz smashed it a projected 415 feet to center field. Talk about a sign of things to come.

TAMPA -- Joe Boyle came and went without allowing a hit. As expected, the Rays optioned Boyle back to Triple-A Durham on Monday after his electric spot start in an 8-3 win over the Braves on Sunday afternoon at George M. Steinbrenner Field. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out seven and

Mark your calendars, baseball fans -- and avid collectors. All 30 teams have extensive promotional schedules lined up for the 2025 season. The giveaways range from bat-flipping bobbleheads to basketball jerseys to, yes, even cribbage boards. In fact, there are so many must-have giveaways that it may be a little

TAMPA -- Joe Boyle has the pitches to be a bona fide ace. That has never been in question. Sustained success at the Major League level for the 25-year-old right-hander has generally boiled down to this: Can he command those pitches?

TAMPA -- Technically, the decisive moment in the Rays’ 5-4 loss to the Braves on Saturday afternoon came in the ninth inning. Having already used four relievers, with top bullpen arms Pete Fairbanks and Mason Montgomery unavailable, Tampa Bay sent right-hander Cole Sulser to the mound with the game tied

The future appears to be closer than ever after some top prospects put on a show, particularly at Triple-A. We saw Aviators take flight with some soaring home runs and a Space Cowboy slammed the door in emphatic fashion. Add in a walk-off grand slam from a Top 100 prospect

One injured Rays player is on the comeback trail. Outfielder/infielder Richie Palacios, sidelined before Opening Day with a fractured right ring finger, began a Minor League rehab assignment with Double-A Montgomery vs. Pensacola on Saturday night at Blue Wahoos Stadium.

TAMPA -- Before Friday’s series opener, Rays manager Kevin Cash offered a vote of confidence in Danny Jansen. After signing as a free agent in the offseason and earning rave reviews throughout Spring Training, the veteran catcher was off to, as he put it, “not the ideal start.” Specifically, he

TAMPA -- The Rays lost a key reliever to the injured list before Friday’s series opener against the Braves, as they placed right-hander Kevin Kelly on the 15-day IL with a left gluteal strain. The Rays recalled right-hander Cole Sulser from Triple-A Durham to take Kelly’s spot in the bullpen.

TAMPA -- As Mike Trout rounded the bases in the fifth inning Thursday afternoon, Zack Littell raised his left hand, called for a new baseball and snatched it with a quick downward swipe of his glove. The right-hander had just given up five straight hits, including three homers, in an

The season is only about two weeks old, but for some players, the first slew of games feels a little more meaningful. Across the league, a number of players are making their return after missing most -- if not all -- of last season due to injury. So far, rust

The Minor Leagues are in full swing with Triple-A circuits two weeks into their seasons and Double-A, High-A and Single-A leagues a week into theirs. That means plenty of great baseball to watch, either in person or via MiLB.TV, which streams games for 117 of the 120 full-season affiliates.

TAMPA -- Over the past week, the Rays made a habit of only putting together rallies that were too little and too late. They only scored 14 runs during their recent five-game losing streak, and just two of them came within the first five innings. They needed to put more

TAMPA -- In the seventh inning of the Rays’ 4-3 loss on Tuesday night, Junior Caminero ripped a fastball from Angels reliever Ben Joyce over the right-field fence. He slowed down and shook his head as he completed his trip around the bases, looking to the sky and softly pounding
