Junior Caminero is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 17 (2024). Target Junior Caminero as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: August/September
ANALYSIS: After being sidelined the entire month of June, Tampa Bay Rays' top prospect, Junior Caminero, has been making serious noise in the minors, and it’s no wonder. In his first game back, he returned to the lineup with a three-run home run. This 21-year-old infielder for the Durham Bulls is putting up solid numbers, hitting .255 with 10 homers and 28 RBIs over 149 minor league at-bats. His .812 OPS underscores his blend of power and patience at the plate.
Traded to the Rays from the Guardians, Caminero has shown a steady upward trajectory. His career minor league stats – a .307 average with 61 HRs and 206 RBIs, highlight his ability to perform consistently at every level.
Junior Caminero clubs a three-run homer in his first game since May 28!

For fantasy owners in deeper leagues, Major League Baseball’s third overall prospect, Caminero is a stash worth considering. His power and ability to drive in runs make him a potential game-changer once he gets the call. Don’t miss the chance to add this rising star to your roster before he hits the big leagues but make sure to temper expectations, the Rays don’t have much to play for this year and may decide to wait until later in the summer to bring him back to the show.
