Junior Caminero is a fantasy baseball 3B prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Junior Caminero, 3B, Tampa Bay Rays
ROTOBALLER'S LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: #2
CALL-UP ETA: May
ANALYSIS: Junior Caminero rocketed up prospect rankings last season after he hit .324 with 31 home runs between High-A and Double-A, with his season culminating in a cup of coffee with the big-league club at the end of the season and a spot on the postseason roster for the Rays.
This was as a 19-year-old. Now 20 years of age, Caminero began the season at Triple-A and got off to a good start, but a quad injury kept him out of the lineup for two weeks. In the first game back, the righty hitter had a double, a home run, and five RBI.
Junior Caminero's power is so effortless to all fields.
Truly a 35+ homer bat waiting to happen who can also add a solid AVG and a handful of steals.Fully expect him to join the Riley/Devers 3B tier by the end of 2024.pic.twitter.com/4SdOO0lRn6

Through five games, Caminero is 7-for-22 (.318) with a double, two home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored, and a stolen base. Jose Caballero is holding down SS admirably to this point, but Caminero may end up at third anyway, which might push Isaac Paredes to DH or 2B.
Regardless, with a little more seasoning in Triple-A, Caminero should be on his way to Tampa again. He didn't do much offensively last season during his call-up, but being a year older, he could have an immediate impact.
