ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — So much of the recent talk around the Rays has been about what they have lost, in terms of players to injuries and games.
Tuesday, Isaac Paredes provided a glaring reminder of the promise they still have, hitting a franchise record-tying three home runs in a 5-4 win over the Yankees.
Paredes, acquired from Detroit in a late spring trade for Austin Meadows, is one of the young players getting additional opportunity due to the growing list of injured starters, with Kevin Kiermaier and Manuel Margot now joining Wander Franco, Brandon Lowe and Mike Zunino on the sideline.
