Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Victor Mesa Jr. is trending in the right direction and will hopefully see some game action soon.
Fantasy Impact
Mesa is dealing with left hamstring soreness, and the Tampa Bay Rays are taking a cautious approach to avoid aggravating it. Acquired from the Miami Marlins in the offseason, he has just 32 major-league at-bats, all from 2025, when he posted a .188/.297/.344 slash line. He is likely to begin the season in the minors.
The Tampa Bay Rays claimed Victor Mesa Jr. off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Mesa got a taste of the majors with the Marlins in 2025, posting a .188/.297/.344 slash line in 38 plate appearances. He owns a career .257/.324/.400 line in the minors and will now get a fresh opportunity with the Rays.
