The Tampa Bay Rays have claimed infielder Yu Chang off the waiver wire.
The Taiwan-born Chang has spent the majority of his career with the Cleveland Guardians, signing as an international free agent during the Summer of 2013. During his time with that organization, he was mainstay in Baseball America’s top 30 rankings of their farm system, peaking at #6 in 2017 and 2018.
A very athletic player, Chang possesses solid speed to go with solid arm...

Meanwhile, one takes a tumble.
MLB Pipeline, the prospect ranking arm of MLB.com, has updated their top-100 prospect list with several featured three Rays making big moves, two up and one down:
Taj Bradley, RHP, Rays (No. 61 to No. 35): Bradley led full-season Minor Leaguers with a 1.83 ERA last season. He’s somehow improved upon that mark with a 1.65 ERA through 65 1/3 innings at Double-A Montgomery this year. The 21-year-old relies on a...
Yandy Diaz went 3-for-4 with two doubles and Kevin Kiermaier had four RBIs to lead visiting Tampa Bay over Boston. Kiermaier's bases-clearing double off Boston starter Nick Pivetta started the scoring in the first inning.

The bats get going early and add on late.
Jeffrey Springs was activated from the Family Medical Emergency List to start tonight’s game. Springs has put together an impressive season since transitioning to the starting rotation. With 60 innings pitched on the season, Springs has a 2.25 ERA (3.33 FIP, 3.11 xFIP). To make room on the active roster, Josh Fleming was optioned to AAA Durham. There will be more roster movement this week, as the Rays also...
Cordero hit a hard line drive, but it went second baseman Taylor Walls, who jumped to make the catch for an out.

Rays hope to make a bigger splash tonight than they did yesterday
Go Rays!
The Tampa Bay Rays claimed infielder Yu Chang off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Chang, a 26-year-old from Taiwan, will join his third team this season.
Lowe progressed to taking batting practice last week, but manager Kevin Cash noted at the time he was still a ways from returning to MLB action.
We've got a pivotal AL East matchup in store as the 45-35 Boston Red Sox host the 43-37 Tampa Bay Rays tonight at 7:10 PM EST. Both squads currently hold a wild card spot if the season ended today but are jockeying for playoff positioning.

The Rays typically value college pitching early in the draft.
The 2022 MLB draft begins on July 17. With that date rapidly approaching, it’s time to start previewing some players who will hear their names called this month.
The draft remains the now-standard 20 rounds. In addition to their pick at the end of every round, the Rays have back-to-back picks at No. 70 and 71 overall in a competitive...

Curtis Mead’s 2021 breakout was no fluke, and he’s now just one level away from the majors.
Curtis Mead was the organization’s top hitter in June. In 25 games across two levels, he batted .333 with a .409 on-base percentage and .635 slugging percentage. His seven homers led the organization during the month, and his eight doubles were second. He also stole four bases in four tries.
Mason Auer hit nine doubles among his 13...

Those three games in Toronto led me to memory hole the Rays June offense but it reappeared today. The team seemed to have two outs before the inning started; the few well struck balls were right into outfielder gloves. Kudos to Josh Fleming, who did his job (eat innings, keep team in the game). But it’s hard to do much when your offense is two singles (one of which was turned into an out) and two walks.
Both teams went with openers today, Austin Davis...

Hopefully the Rays can salvage something on America’s birthday
Go Rays!

The Tampa Bay Rays bats got the July 4th festivities off to an early start over the last three games putting up 24 runs. Now the Rays head to Boston to face the scorching hot Red Sox who have gone 21-8 since the beginning of June after a sluggish start to the season.

Is it a winning streak if both wins are on the same day?
Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Isaac Paredes had himself a day. 3 for 5. 3 runs. 4 RBI. A triple shy of the cycle. But! Unlike the last week month, he got some help from — I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s settle in for a soak, because this was a fun one.
