Caminero (foot) will start at third base and will bat third Wednesday in Game 5 of the World Series against the Brewers.
A sore right foot in extra innings forced the removal of Caminero from the Rays' Game 4 victory. Per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, manager Kevin Cash noted that Caminero has "been dealing with some lower extremity injuries," but there was no consideration given to excluding the slugger from Wednesday's elimination game. Caminero is slashing .250/.321/.396 with one home run in 13 games this postseason.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Tuesday's win over the Brewers that Caminero (foot) is expected to be fine, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Caminero was removed for a pinch runner and limped off the field in the bottom of the 12th inning due to a right foot issue. It's unclear whether he underwent any testing, but regardless it doesn't seem to be anything that will keep him out of the lineup for Game 5 on Wednesday as the Rays look to stave off elimination again. Caminero is 3-for-15 with one double and one RBI thus far in the World Series.

Caminero was removed from Game 4 of the World Series against Milwaukee on Tuesday due to an apparent leg injury.
Caminero seemed to tweak something while reaching base on an error in the 12th inning, and he later limped off the field after advancing to third base on a Liam Hicks single. The Rays were able to rally in extra innings and force a Game 5, though it remains to be seen whether Caminero will be healthy enough to play Wednesday.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Game 6 of the ALCS versus Cleveland on Monday.
The 23-year-old extended Tampa Bay's lead to 5-1 with a two-run shot in the seventh inning, his first home run of the postseason. Caminero entered the contest with a .636 OPS through eight playoff games, but his Game 6 performance boosted his slash line to .273/.351/.455 in 43 plate appearances this postseason. With the Rays now headed to the World Series, he may have found his power stroke just in time.

Caminero went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Phillies.
Caminero opened the scoring with a two-run blast off Aaron Nola in the first inning, reaching 100 RBI for the second straight campaign. According to Adam Berry of MLB.com, the young third baseman became just the ninth player in history to have multiple 40-homer, 100-RBI seasons within his first four years. Overall, he's slashing .277/.361/.526 with 42 long balls, 101 RBI, 100 runs scored and three steals across 700 plate appearances with one regular-season game left to play.

Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the A's.
For the second time in five days, Caminero walked it off for the Rays, this time by getting hold of a 100.4-mph fastball from Elvis Alvarado and driving it the other way to clear the fence in the right-field corner. Caminero is up to 41 homers on the season, first in the American League and third in the majors behind the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber (45) and the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong (42), and the 23-year-old needs four more RBI to reach 100 for the second straight year.
