The Tampa Bay Rays have had an up-and-down road west coast swing thus far as they’ve sandwiched a series sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners between a couple of series victories over the Los Angeles Angels and Athletics; now, the Rays will complete their journey out west with a three game series in San Francisco.

A's catcher Shea Langeliers has been a symbol of stability for the team all season long, and since the All-Star break, he's risen to new heights. He's currently tied for most home runs (12) since the All-Star break with Phillies star and 2025 All-Star Game MVP Kyle Schwarber.

This was the 20th week of minor league play. According to FanGraphs ( which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues ), newcomer Jadher Areinamo remains the top hitter in the Rays system; the Rays acquired the 21-year old infielder from Milwaukee for Danny Jansen in late July.
