Slater’s Second Chance with Rays
Description
Tampa Bay Rays are giving Austin Slater a second chance, calling him up from Triple-A after his strong .348 batting average and .464 OBP in Durham. At 33 and having bounced around seven teams in three years, Slater’s MLB numbers have been rough — just 8-for-43 this season — but his knack for crushing left-handed pitching (.260+ career average) could make him a key piece. The Rays are betting he can translate his Triple-A success to the majors, especially against lefties, and turn this call-up into a meaningful role.
