Rays Select Kameron Misner, Place Richie Palacios On 10-Day IL

By Anthony Franco | August 3, 2024 at 9:18am CDT

TODAY: The Rays officially selected Misner and placed Palacios on the 10-day IL yesterday with a right knee sprain.  Manager Kevin Cash told Topkin and other reporters that Palacios will miss roughly 4-6 weeks in recovery, and there is enough uncertainly this early in the rehab process that Palacios could potentially miss the rest of the regular season.

The injury is a tough break for Palacios, who has gotten a nice chunk of playing time as a part of the Rays’ regular rotation of position players.  Palacios has a 104 wRC+, from a slash line of .233/.350/.332 and five homers in 301 plate appearances.  The 27-year-old has also stolen 19 bases in 20 attempts, while getting a lot of action at second base and in the two corner outfield positions.

AUGUST 1: The Rays are planning to promote outfielder Kameron Misner from Triple-A Durham, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He’ll join the active roster in place of Richie Palacios, who is headed for the 10-day injured list after tweaking his knee in yesterday’s loss to Miami. Tampa Bay will need to select Misner’s contract but has three vacancies on the 40-man roster after their slate of deadline trades.

Now 26, Misner was once a highly-regarded draft prospect. The Marlins selected him 35th overall in the 2019 draft coming out of the University of Missouri. He’d briefly reached Double-A in the Miami system by the time they sent him to Tampa Bay in an intra-state trade to land veteran infielder Joey Wendle.

The book on Misner has been the same dating back to his college days. He has big power in a 6’4″ frame. He takes plenty of walks and has a surprising amount of athleticism for a player his size. Scouting reports have always questioned his pure hitting ability, though, with some evaluators putting a 30 (well below-average on the 20-80 scouting scale) on his hit tool.

Misner has spent nearly two full seasons in Durham and continued to perform to those expectations. He’s a career .236/.360/.453 hitter in nearly 1000 Triple-A plate appearances. Misner has 36 home runs, a massive 15.7% walk rate, and has stolen 48 bases in 57 attempts over 224 games. The left-handed hitter has also struck out in more than a third of his trips to the plate, the biggest reason he hadn’t gotten a major league call despite the big on-base and power numbers.

The Rays have used Misner mostly in center field in the minors. He’ll probably get more action in the corners on the MLB roster. That’s especially true with the Rays losing Palacios, who has started 40 games in a corner outfield spot this season. Palacios has made a career-high 88 appearances overall, hitting .233/.350/.332 through 301 trips to the plate. He’s on his third team in as many seasons after the Rays swapped him from the Cardinals for reliever Andrew Kittredge over the winter.

Tampa Bay and St. Louis lined up another reliever for outfielder deal this week, as the Rays shipped Shawn Armstrong to the Cards while taking a flier on former top prospect Dylan Carlson. The switch-hitting Carlson could get the majority of left field reps while Misner adds a power bat to Kevin Cash’s bench.

        @gwynning did I missed a press release? When was the definition of vaccine changed?

        Unless you mean adding to the definition when computer viruses came around and people developed programs to neutralize them.

          Why block me when I just asked for clarification? Maybe I missed some joke or offended you?

          You do you I guess.

        Do you have an *alert’ on the word ‘vaccine’ by any chance?

    Bleday, Misner, Nunez and Burdick. Marlins really nailed those first 3 rounds of that draft. People wonder why they suck on a year to year basis and cry about them having to trade middling players away, but its atrocious drafting like that every year that left their farm system in complete shambles. Lol

      They literally made the playoffs last year so it could be worse. They have achieved more than the Mets have in the past two decades with about 4% the budget.

        1)what do the mets have to do with this?

        2)are you sure about that? Their last WS was 2003, making it outside of the last 2 decades while the Mets did have a World Series appearance during that time frame. Marlins have only made the playoffs twice since 2003 and the covid season barely counts
