Rays Roster Review: Back-up Players

As of this writing we don’t know who will be on the Wild Card roster. But a few of these players are likely to make an appearance.

Jesus Aguilar - 369 PA, .236/.325/.389, 88 wRC+, -0.1

Acquired midseason in the Jake Faria trade, Aguilar is a big righty whose power hasn’t shown up in 2019. He can still work a good at bat, though, and there’s little reason to believe the power is gone for good. He’ll likely be a bigger part of the 2020 Rays.

The nice thing for 2019, though, is that he’s shown an aptitude for pinch hitting.
