Junior Caminero takes the AL home run lead as the division-leading Rays push toward October

Caminero continues his scorching late-season tear, slashing .314/.386/.510 with three home runs and nine RBIs across his last 14 games. The everyday third baseman recently claimed the American League home run lead after launching his 38th blast of the year. His thunderous bat remains the focal point of the offense for a first-place Tampa Bay squad that leads the AL East at 85-58.

His prolific campaign has already eclipsed our full-season projection of 35 home runs, pairing his raw power with a sparkling .280 average and .897 OPS across 143 contests. Coming off a 45-homer breakout in 2025, Caminero’s current surge is no fluke; his sustained exit velocities confirm this elite run production is a durable baseline rather than temporary hot hitting.

Tampa Bay plays six games this week, opening with three road matchups in Atlanta before hosting Houston. While facing ace Chris Sale and his 2.10 ERA presents a stiff test, Caminero should feast in matchups against struggling arms like AJ Smith-Shawver (7.13 ERA) and Ethan Pecko (5.19 ERA). Continue to roll out the young superstar with total confidence. Start.
