The Rays plan to recall top infield prospect Junior Caminero from Triple-A Durham before tomorrow's game against the Astros. It's his first promotion of the season. Caminero is already on the 40-man roster because the Rays initially called him up last September.
Caminero, 21, appeared in seven games for Tampa Bay late last season. He hit his first big league homer but managed only a .278 on-base percentage. The Rays carried him on their Wild Card roster but didn't get him into a postseason game.
Tampa Bay had jumped Caminero directly from Double-A to the big leagues, so they unsurprisingly optioned him to Durham out of Spring Training this year.
