Dodgers Rumors: MLB Insider Says Shohei Ohtani's Fit in LA 'Not Quite as Clean' Following InjuryAre we sure about this?
Brandon Lowe - Sitting out with sore kneeLowe (knee) is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ImpactLowe was lifted from Thursday's game against the Angels after fouling a ball off his right knee. While he is undoubtedly still sore, there's been no indication to this point that it could be more than a day-to-day type injury. Isaac Paredes will slide over to second base Friday, with Curtis Mead getting the call at the hot corner.

Junior Caminero - Not in Friday's lineupCaminero is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ImpactCaminero was officially promoted from Double-A Montgomery to the big leagues earlier Friday, but he will have to wait to make his first start. It wouldn't seem to be a great sign for his playing time outlook down the stretch, although perhaps Tampa Bay just wanted to given the youngster a day to settle in. Curtis Mead is at third base Friday and Osleivis Basabe is handling shortstop.

Luke Raley - Placed on ILThe Rays placed Raley on the 10-day injured list Friday with a cervical strain, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ImpactRaley hasn't started a game since colliding with a staff member during batting practice last Saturday, and he reported numbness in his arm following a pinch hit appearance Wednesday. Raley's move to the injured list is retroactive to Thursday, so he will still be eligible to return for the final game of the season Oct. 1, but there's a chance the Rays keep him on the shelf until the postseason.

Junior Caminero - Promotion made officialThe Rays selected Caminero's contract from Double-A Montgomery on Friday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ImpactOne of the top prospects in all of baseball, Caminero will skip the Triple-A level and report to the big leagues after just turning 20 in July. He earned the promotion after batting .324/.384/.591 with 31 home runs and 94 RBI between High-A Bowling Green and Montgomery, with 20 of those homers coming at the Double-A level. While primarily a third baseman, Caminero has experience at all four infield positions and could potentially take over at shortstop for the Rays.
