Goes to bench Sunday Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Paredes started in four of the Rays' past five games while playing three different positions, but he'll shift back to the bench for the series finale. The righty-hitting Paredes will likely see most of his playing time versus left-handed pitching moving forward.

Out of Sunday's lineup Paredes is not in Sunday's lineup against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Swats fifth homer Paredes went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Twins.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting sixth, Paredes got the Rays on the board in the second inning by taking Devin Smeltzer deep. The 23-year-old has started eight of the last 11 games with Brandon Lowe (back) and Wander Franco (quadriceps) sidelined and been productive, with Paredes slashing .208/.355/.542 over that stretch with two doubles, two of his five homers on the year and a 6:3 BB:K in 31 plate appearances.

Remains out of lineup Paredes is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Paredes will take a seat for a second consecutive game Thursday as Vidal Brujan will get another start at second base and bat ninth. He is currently in the middle of a 2-for-17 dry spell, so it's possible that the Rays are giving him an extra day of rest to get right.

Not in Wednesday's lineup Paredes is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Paredes started in the last five games and went 2-for-13 with a homer, three runs, three RBI and five walks. Vidal Brujan will take over at the keystone and bat sixth Thursday.

Slugs fourth homer Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact Paredes led off the fifth frame with his fourth home run of the season. He's hit just .161 across his last 10 games, yet has slugged .419 while also collecting six RBI and four runs scored. Paredes figures to maintain increased playing time due to the absences of Wander Franco (quadriceps) and Brandon Lowe (back), but he will also compete with Vidal Brujan and Taylor Walls to be in the lineup.

Makes most of starting chance Paredes went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored Monday against the Rangers.

Impact Paredes was in the lineup for the first time in three games and continued to showcase his ability to hit for power. Across his last six starts, Paredes has three home runs and two doubles while driving in six and scoring five runs. Though he hasn't been able to find a regular starting role in the absence of Brandon Lowe (back), it's possible that Paredes begins to pick up additional playing time over either Taylor Walls or Vidal Brujan -- both of whom have struggled at the plate of late.

Slugs two homers Paredes went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Wednesday against the Tigers.

Impact Paredes was in the lineup for the first time since being recalled to the majors Monday, starting at third base and hitting sixth. He took advantage of the opportunity, slugging homers in the third and eighth frames. Paredes figures to serve a utility role so long as Brandon Lowe (back) is sidelined, and he has collected seven hits across 25 plate appearances this season.

Back in big leagues Paredes was recalled by the Rays on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Paredes joins the team with Brandon Lowe (back) hitting the injured list. He could spend some time filling in for Lowe at second base, though Vidal Brujan will start there Monday against the Tigers and may be the preferred option.

Sent back to minors The Rays optioned Paredes to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Paredes will lose his spot on the 26-man active roster after the Rays reinstated Ji-Man Choi (elbow) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-long stay with Tampa Bay, Paredes appeared in six games and went 5-for-19 with a double, two runs and two RBI.

Delivers as pinch hitter Paredes went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Athletics.

Impact Paredes has drawn only one start since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, though he entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. While he struck out in his initial plate appearance, Paredes redeemed himself with a two-RBI single in the following frame. There doesn't appear to be a consistent path to plate appearances for Paredes at this point, but he has collected two hits in first seven at-bats with the Rays.

MAY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One hit in Rays debut Paredes went 1-for-4 with a strikeout Sunday against the Twins.

Impact Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Sunday after Ji-Man Choi (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Paredes was immediately inserted into the lineup, starting at third base and hitting seventh. He could see regular playing time with Choi sidelined, as Yandy Diaz is capable of serving as the first baseman in a shift that would open playing time at the hot corner.

Receives promotion The Rays recalled Paredes from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Impact He'll join the big club for the first time after the Rays optioned him to Durham following his acquisition from the Tigers on April 4. The 23-year-old infielder got off to a hot start to the campaign at Durham, slashing .270/.356/.500 with 10 extra-base hits and 15 RBI across 87 plate appearances. The righty-hitting Paredes could be an option to fill a short-side platoon role at either third or second base while he's up with the Rays.

Traded to Tampa Bay Paredes was traded to the Rays on Monday in exchange for Austin Meadows and a 2022 draft pick, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Paredes has shown that he can play all over the infield, adding future versatility for Tampa Bay. The infielder was optioned to Triple-A just a few days earlier, so unless the Rays decided to bump him up to the Opening Day roster over the next few days, he'll begin the year at Triple-A Durham.

Optioned to minors Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Pareds missed some time during camp with a hand injury and won't end up making Detroit's Opening Day roster. He had a .625 OPS in 23 big-league games during 2021 and could receive a call-up when the Tigers require infield depth this season.

Could play Wednesday Paredes (hand) is listed as an available reserve for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Paredes hasn't played since exiting Sunday's game against the Orioles after taking a pitch off his right hand, but he looks like he could see some action off the bench Wednesday. Assuming his hand doesn't bother him heading into Opening Day, Paredes could break camp with the Tigers as a utility infielder.
