  41.  &lt;p id="mSM8IL"&gt;Normally it’s exciting to come home after a successful road trip, but the unfriendly confines of George M. Steinbrenner Field are not as welcoming for the Rays. The Rays moved to 9-11 at home this season and dropped the series opener 3-1 against the Royals on Tuesday night. &lt;/p&gt;
  42. &lt;div id="DNkD5C"&gt;

  45. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  46. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  47.  
  48. &lt;/div&gt;
  49. &lt;p id="CzZW6A"&gt;The Rays managed eight hits but only plated one run, that one coming on a Junior Caminero solo shot to center field, his sixth homer of the season. &lt;/p&gt;
  50. &lt;div id="qO0Tyg"&gt;
  51. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com%2FFORGE%2F2025%2F2025-04%2F29%2F97b7f3eb-eec27e9c-5152eb9e-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4&amp;amp;key=9ef4a209439e42bc59783ba959d50197" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" allow="encrypted-media *;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  52. &lt;script async="" src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  53. &lt;/div&gt;
  54. &lt;p id="t13XmB"&gt;Yandy Diaz looks to be rounding into form, going 2-for-3 and drawing a walk. He has recorded hits in four of his last five games, three of those being multi-hit performances. &lt;/p&gt;
  55. &lt;p id="jlayXQ"&gt;Chandler Simpson’s eight-game hitting streak to start his big league career came to an end with an 0-for-5 night, although he narrowly missed out on a few hits that either went just foul, or became a fielders choice after a force out at another base. &lt;/p&gt;
  56. &lt;p id="2pY4Hd"&gt;Taj Bradley did not look sharp, lacking the command that powered his mini-breakout in 2024. The fastball still plays, but he can’t get the splitter down in the zone, and he doesn’t have the confidence in his below-average curveball to throw it more. If Bradley is going to get anywhere close to where he was in the first half last year, he needs to be able to lean on other pitches. &lt;/p&gt;
  57. &lt;p id="H6zIbJ"&gt;I don’t need to see any more of Curtis Mead. Do I think he’s a player that could find some success if given consistent playing time? Yes, but that should not happen here. Give me any lefty on this roster against a left-handed reliever over Mead as a pinch hitter. Not only did he strike out easily, he pulled up on a dropped third strike when he could have reached as the tying run in the eight inning. &lt;/p&gt;
  58. &lt;p id="ULNuAQ"&gt;It’s a short home stand, with just two more games against the Royals before the Rays head to the Bronx. Luckily, Drew Rasmussen and Shane Baz are due to start the final two games of the series. &lt;/p&gt;

  96.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  97.  
  98.  &lt;p&gt;Twenty-eight games down, one-hundred thirty-four to go&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="yxv5IH"&gt;We are officially one month into the 2025 regular season and the Tampa Bay Rays have gone through the longest homestand in franchise history and a west coast swing against two of the toughest teams in the National League. They’ve endured playing at the newest hitter’s haven in baseball. They’ve suffered numerous injuries to integral parts of the team’s roster. They’ve enjoyed tremendous success from rookies earning their spots on the team. And after the culmination of a month of play, they are 14-14, .500 on the season.&lt;/p&gt;
  99. &lt;p id="nDYikq"&gt;On Tuesday, the Rays will return home and welcome the Kansas City Royals into town. The Royals are currently 14-15, sitting four games back of the AL Central leading Tigers. The Rays meanwhile are 2.5 games back of the Yankees in the AL East.&lt;/p&gt;
  100. &lt;p id="cMO0Xm"&gt;Kansas City has been led by their star shortstop, Bobby Witt Jr, who is off to a fantastic start. The 24-year old speedster is currently hitting .315/.385/.477 with 2 HR and 8 SB (1.5 fWAR | 138 wRC+) over 29 games this season. He hasn’t received much support from the rest of the team as seven position players currently sport negative fWAR. Drew Waters and Maikel Garcia are a couple of hitters off to decent starts for the Royals.&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;p id="bVCavx"&gt;The starting rotation has been solid with each pitcher either posting solid numbers (Cole Regans seems to just be unlucky thus far). Kris Bubic has been their top starter but the Rays will miss his turn in the rotation. The bullpen has been a work in progress but Lucas Erceg, Carlos Estevez, and Daniel Lynch the names to watch for in high leverage situations.&lt;/p&gt;
  102. &lt;p id="xQ8oDS"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;div class="c-float-right"&gt;&lt;div id="MTz772"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="aside:12579333"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  105. &lt;p id="bTgq3n"&gt;The top players by career WAR to have played for the Rays and Royals:&lt;/p&gt;

  113. &lt;p id="bb5IoM"&gt;The Rays best player offensively against the Royals all-time (&lt;em&gt;min. 25 PA&lt;/em&gt;):&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jonny Gomes: &lt;/strong&gt;.380/.484/.980 with 9 HR over 62 PA&lt;/p&gt;

  151.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  152.  
  153.  &lt;p&gt;Offensively or defensively, there is no stopping Chandler Simpson&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="1GY7wd"&gt;When a minor league prospect makes that jump to the big leagues, they often take time to adjust. There is a learning period in which they have to figure out how to translate their tools to that next level. However, there has been no adjustment period for Chandler Simpson as the speedster has been exactly as advertised.&lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;p id="DQ5Mmm"&gt;The 24-year old outfielder showcased all of his talents during the Tampa Bay Rays three game sweep of the San Diego Padres.&lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;p id="q5ultS"&gt;On Friday, Simpson laid down a perfect bunt and made it to first place with the Padres giving up on the play. This advanced Taylor Walls to second, who would eventually score the only run of the ballgame.&lt;/p&gt;
  156. &lt;p id="iaPzBK"&gt;On Saturday, Simpson walked and collected two hits. One of those hits was a groundball up the middle that Simpson managed to just barely beat out (almost any other player in baseball would have been out); he would be caught stealing immediately afterwards. He would notch another hit later on but made his presence known in the outfield as he would takeaway a homerun from Manny Machado that would have made it a one-run game.&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;p id="HHH8zH"&gt;Finally on Sunday, Simpson walked and then promptly stole second and scored on a single. Nex time up, Simpson singled and then advanced to third on a Brandon Lowe base hit and raced home on a wild pitch. Then in the 9th, Simpson laced a double off of Robert Suarez, perhaps the best closer in baseball, down the left field line that brought home an insurance run.&lt;/p&gt;
  158. &lt;p id="JJgNTy"&gt;Just a fantastic weekend for Chandler Simpson.&lt;/p&gt;
  159. &lt;p id="KptIik"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DRAYSBAY PLAYER OF THE SERIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;ul&gt;
  161. &lt;li id="xCpS2M"&gt;1st: Kameron Misner&lt;/li&gt;
  162. &lt;li id="kuh33q"&gt;2nd: Jake Mangum&lt;/li&gt;
  163. &lt;li id="BThLmD"&gt;3rd: Brandon Lowe&lt;/li&gt;
  164. &lt;li id="ccH9gq"&gt;4th: Jose Caballero&lt;/li&gt;
  165. &lt;li id="usTpMn"&gt;5th: Joe Boyle&lt;/li&gt;
  166. &lt;li id="ZJr5rL"&gt;6th: Shane Baz&lt;/li&gt;
  167. &lt;li id="Aineby"&gt;7th: Chandler Simpson&lt;/li&gt;
  168. &lt;li id="6IiEB6"&gt;8th: Christopher Morel&lt;/li&gt;
  169. &lt;li id="uQukHy"&gt;9th: Chandler Simpson&lt;/li&gt;
  170. &lt;/ul&gt;
  171. &lt;div class="c-float-right"&gt;&lt;div id="7bN6nz"&gt;&lt;div data-anthem-component="aside:12579333"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  172. &lt;p id="xlXMrP"&gt;Simpson reached the big leagues just under two weeks ago after only 17 games in Triple-A Durham. The talented speedster how showcased his 90-grade speed and 70-grade bat. Entering play on Tuesday, Simpson has the 4th longest hit streak to begin his career in franchise history and is currently hitting .400/.455/.433 with 3 stolen bases over 8 games.&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p id="wyoW7O"&gt;The Rays will begin their next series, a three-game set, against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p id="OZwZoQ"&gt;Who do you think will be our next &lt;em&gt;Player of the Series&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
  175. &lt;p id="EJSUH7"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  194.  
  195.  &lt;p&gt;The Rays added to their outfield depth with a minor league signing&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="M0ILEv"&gt;This week’s minor league roundup will only feature the numbers accumulated prior to the start of play on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
  196. &lt;p id="PfnjHv"&gt;This was the fifth week of minor league play with all of the Rays full season minor league teams having completed their first full week of play.&lt;/p&gt;
  197. &lt;p id="Grtq4N"&gt;According to FanGraphs (&lt;em&gt;which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues&lt;/em&gt;), the overall top hitter in the Rays farm system is 22-year old Cooper Kinney. The 2021 34th overall pick is an infielder that is hitting .353/.405/.676 with 5 HR over 74 PA in Double-A, registering a 216 wRC+.&lt;/p&gt;
  198. &lt;p id="LRLvUr"&gt;Meanwhile, the top pitcher continues to be Ian Seymour, continues to be a model of consistency. He now has a 2.49 ERA | 4.04 FIP with a 33.3 K% &amp;amp; 6.7 BB% over 25 &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;⁄&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; IP.&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;p id="NE8hOl"&gt;Before we get to the statistical breakdowns. Here is some news or somethings I have noticed from around the Rays system.&lt;/p&gt;
  200. &lt;ul&gt;
  201. &lt;li id="hwzs1J"&gt;Outfield prospect Theo Gillen made his season debut on Sunday in Single-A.&lt;/li&gt;
  202. &lt;li id="I9lNQK"&gt;The Rays have signed a former Nationals top-10 prospect, Andrew Stevenson. The 30-year old outfielder has big league experience over five seasons with Washington and one season with the Minnesota Twins; most recently he played in Japan during the 2024 season.&lt;/li&gt;
  203. &lt;li id="cnOjjW"&gt;Owen Wild, an under-the-radar pitching prospect that dominated last season, made his season debut in Double-A. Thus far, he has thrown seven scoreless innings with a 30.4 K% and 8.7 BB% over two starts.&lt;/li&gt;
  204. &lt;li id="bUDKxN"&gt;&lt;a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&amp;amp;xs=1&amp;amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fmlb%2Fcolumnist%2Fbob-nightengale%2F2025%2F04%2F27%2Fchandler-simpson-rays-speed%2F83305535007%2F&amp;amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.draysbay.com%2F2025%2F4%2F28%2F24419324%2Ftampa-bay-rays-minor-league-roundup-week-5" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Bob Nightengale of &lt;em&gt;USA Today&lt;/em&gt; wrote about Chandler Simpson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  260.    <title>Rays 4, Padres 2: The sweep smell of success</title>

  264.      &lt;img alt="MLB: Tampa Bay Rays at San Diego Padres" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/qrTStX_YMNZaQGaVBFoncpAl7DM=/0x0:5349x3566/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/74052283/usa_today_26032386.0.jpg" /&gt;

  266.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  267.  
  268.  &lt;p&gt;The Rays closed out their series in San Diego with a sweep.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="sZTxnF"&gt;The Padres are heavily considered to be one of the hottest teams in baseball this season, but between dropping two of three to the Detroit Tigers during the week, then losing the first two games of the series to the Rays, they’re not quite living up to the hype they were generating a couple weeks ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  269. &lt;p id="bD4rzn"&gt;Today, as the Rays looked to sweep the series, it was Zack Littell on the mound for the Rays against Randy Vasquez for the Padres. &lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;p id="cFydTt"&gt;Top of the first the Rays went 1-2-3, then bottom of the inning the Padres followed suit.&lt;/p&gt;
  271. &lt;p id="9l8Asd"&gt;In the second, the Rays got a leadoff baserunner as Jonathan Aranda was (delicately) hit by a pitch. Vasquez was pitching really inside, nearly hitting Junior Caminero. It’s worth noting that Vasquez’s last start in Detroit was a really rough outing for him and he churned through nearly 50 pitches in his first two innings of work. Caminero grounded into a double play, eliminating the baserunner. In the home half, Xander Bogaerts hit a leadoff single. Oscar Gonzalez then singled to follow him. A double play got two outs, but Jose Iglesias singled to bring Bogaerts home, putting the Padres on the board first. &lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;p id="mR9LQb"&gt;In the third, Taylor Walls went yard with a one-out solo home run to tie things up.&lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;div id="AMcTRA"&gt;
  274. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbdata-producedclips.mlb.com%2Fe2fc502d-b8e0-4369-a9e9-8f8204bd6b80.mp4&amp;amp;key=9ef4a209439e42bc59783ba959d50197" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" allow="encrypted-media *;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  275. &lt;script async="" src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  276. &lt;/div&gt;
  277. &lt;p id="x7HJvw"&gt;Chandler Simpson took a two-out walk, and because he’s Chandler Simpson, he stole second. Brandon Lowe singled, bringing Simpson home. With one out in the home half, Fernando Tatis Jr. singled, but it was pretty funny to watch Caminero stare down the ball as it slow-rolled down the baseline hoping it would go foul. Gavin Sheets then singled to put men at the corners. A sac fly by Manny Machado scored Tatis, tying up the game. &lt;/p&gt;
  278. &lt;p id="Q0gxJr"&gt;The game headed into the fourth at a tie, and Caminero got a one-out single to start things off. Too bad the Rays left him stranded. The Padres went down in order in the bottom of the inning.&lt;/p&gt;
  279. &lt;p id="uYh9bh"&gt;In the fifth, Chandler Simpson got a two-out single, then Brandon Lowe singled, getting Simpson to third. A wild pitch allowed Chandler to score, giving the Rays back the lead. &lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;div id="kySpXe"&gt;
  281. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbdata-producedclips.mlb.com%2Fdb410d81-8931-40fe-97c1-1d3b3fa887aa.mp4&amp;amp;key=9ef4a209439e42bc59783ba959d50197" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" allow="encrypted-media *;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  282. &lt;script async="" src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  283. &lt;/div&gt;
  284. &lt;p id="od2CNK"&gt;Once Yandy Diaz walked, that was it for Vasquez. Adrian Morejon came in from the pen, and got the final out of the inning. In the home half, Fernando Tatis Jr. got a two out walk, but no runs scored. &lt;/p&gt;
  285. &lt;p id="2VGayp"&gt;As the game headed into the sixth, and Travis Jankowski got a single with two outs, but he was soon headed back to the dugout as the final out of the inning wrapped things up. Littell’s day was done after five with a final line of 5.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K on 73 pitches. Manuel Rodríguez was in from the Rays’ pen in relief. Bogaerts got a one-out walk before being eliminated in a double play to end the inning. &lt;/p&gt;
  286. &lt;p id="CPatpS"&gt;Jeremiah Estrada was the next Padres’ reliever up, and Danny Jansen singled, followed by a Simpson single to put two on. Jose Caballero replaced Janson as a pinch-runner. Neither runner would score, however, as a groundout and double play followed to end the inning. The Rays did challenge the tag out at home that was part of the inning-ending double play but the call was upheld. In the home half, the Rays turned pitching duties over to Mason Montgomery. Connor Joe kicked things off with a walk, then advanced to second on a Jose Iglesias sac bunt. Edwin Uceta came in with two outs in the inning as a pinch-hiiting Elias Díaz was announced. Uceta got the final out to end the inning.&lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;p id="pJcPhR"&gt;Former Ray Jason Adam was the newest reliever up, and got the Rays out in order. The Rays returned the favor in the home half, getting the Padres three-up, three-down.&lt;/p&gt;
  288. &lt;p id="34LobA"&gt;In the ninth, Robert Suarez came out in relief, and Jankowski got a leadoff double. Two outs later, unsung rookie superstar Simpson singled to score Jankowski, adding a little bit of buffer to the Rays’ lead. &lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;div id="ZQ5ezk"&gt;
  290. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbdata-producedclips.mlb.com%2F4d445f9a-d7d5-4ff7-af0b-5c051f748e95.mp4&amp;amp;key=9ef4a209439e42bc59783ba959d50197" style="top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;" allowfullscreen="" allow="encrypted-media *;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  291. &lt;script async="" src="https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  292. &lt;/div&gt;
  293. &lt;p id="64tetq"&gt;Pete Fairbanks was in to close things out for the Rays and hopefully maintain their lead and secure the sweep. With one out, Caminero &lt;em&gt;robbed&lt;/em&gt; a hit from Gonzales, nabbing it right out of the air. Fairbanks induced a groundout to collect the final out of the game, completed the sweep, and extended the Rays’ winning streak to 5. &lt;/p&gt;
  294. &lt;p id="If5W1B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final: Rays 4, Padres 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  295. &lt;p id="5szl2G"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  296. &lt;p id="7iHIME"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
