Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero and outfielder Chandler Simpson have been named finalists for the 2026 Silver Slugger Award, which recognizes the top offensive performers at each position in Major League Baseball.
The announcement came on November 5, 2026. Both players were key contributors during the Rays' run to the World Series, where they faced the Milwaukee Brewers. A photo from Game 4 on October 27, 2026, at Tropicana Field shows Caminero and Simpson celebrating a run together.
