Tampa Bay Rays' third baseman Junior Caminero is currently day-to-day due to a bruised jaw sustained during a game against the Cleveland Guardians in Cleveland. The injury happened in the first inning when Caminero fouled a pitch from Tanner Bibee, causing the ball to bounce off the plate and strike him in the right jaw. After falling to the ground and receiving medical attention, he opted to continue for one more at-bat, where he grounded out to Bibee. Following this, he was replaced by Ben Williamson.
