Raimel Tapia Getting Called Up By The Rays

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Raimel Tapia has had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham. The veteran outfielder will replace Brandon Lowe (knee), who is done for the season, on the active roster. Tapia couldn't stick with either the Red Sox or the Brewers this season and signed a minor league contract with Tampa Bay in early August. The 29-year-old was a .280/.325/.396 hitter with the Rockies over the first six years of his career but he's found life away from Coors Field a little more difficult. He's slashing just .256/.296/.369 over the last two years while playing with Toronto, Boston, and Milwaukee.

Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Corner Outfield

Throughout the week, we’ve covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. We move today to the outfield. Teams often use left and right fielders interchangeably, so we’ll combine them into a single corner outfield group.
