On July 9, 2025, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays hit his 22nd home run and committed to the Home Run Derby in Atlanta on Monday.
Earlier this week, Caminero was selected to join the All-Star roster in place of Boston third baseman Alex Bregman, sidelined due to a strained quadriceps.
He will start at third base for the American League All-Star team the night after the derby and leads all AL third basemen in home runs.
Caminero expressed his intention to perform impressively in order to connect with fans and showcase his strength.
This breakout season suggests Caminero is poised for wider recognition, supported by Rays manager Kevin Cash's expressed excitement for his family.
