TORONTO -- There’s a quick way to determine if the Rays’ lineup is operating at its highest and most dangerous capacity. Start from the bottom.

Earlier this summer, Theo Gillen vaulted into the conversation as one of the top 10 prospects in the game. And to cement that hard-earned reputation, he boosted his resume Wednesday with entrance into a rather exclusive club.

July 23, 2026

It’s hard to stay on top of the Hitter Power Rankings for an extended period of time. Even great hitters slump, right?

Now that the 2026 Draft is in the books, the question becomes: When will we see these players in the big leagues?

BOSTON -- There is, at least, some good news for the Rays. They won’t play the Red Sox again until Sept. 18-20, the last regular-season series of the year at Tropicana Field, and Boston will probably lose a game before then.
