Summary

Rays Beat Jays

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6 in St. Petersburg on Wednesday.
Yandy Díaz hit his 19th two-run homer of the season in the first inning.
Drew Rasmussen earned his sixth straight win, the first Rays pitcher to do so since Blake Snell in 2018.
Bryan Baker recorded his 25th consecutive save, his 36th of the season, leading the majors.

Summary

Cameron Signed

Toronto signed outfielder Daz Cameron to a minor-league deal on July 8, 2026 after Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s concussion.
Cameron returned from Korea’s Doosan Bears, posting .287/.360/.473 with nine homers and nine steals in 75 games.
He turned down earlier Japan offers before joining the Bears in November.
Because Cameron has no options, Toronto must decide his roster spot when Guerrero returns.
Manager John Schneider said Cameron adds right-handed power, complementing recent addition Charles McAdoo.
