Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes hit his third home run of 2024 in an 8-6 win over the Rockies on Saturday. It was a solo shot in the eighth inning, part of a five-run inning that helped the Rays erase a 6-3 deficit. Paredes finished the day 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored. He now has two straight multi-hit games, six straight games with at least one hit, and three home runs in the last five games. Paredes slashed .250/.352/.488 last season with 31 home runs and 98 RBI. The right-handed slugger is heating up and seems to be on track for a repeat performance.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is off to a slow start to his spring in Grapefruit League action. The 25-year-old went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Wednesday's contest against the New York Yankees and is now just 1-for-10 with a pair of walks against three strikeouts across his first 12 trips to the plate this spring. Paredes is coming off a big 2023 season that saw him hit .250 with 31 home runs, 98 RBI, and an .840 OPS across 143 appearances. While he is an attractive option at the hot corner for fantasy managers in 2024, it's worth noting that Paredes' .314 xwOBA was well below his .362 wOBA and he ranked in the 26th percentile or worse in xBA, xSLG, average exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and barrel rate a season ago. In other words, prepare for some regression.

Tampa Bay Rays baseball operations president Erik Neander said Monday, "I would very much classify anything as listening," referring to trade talks related to key players other than starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow. This includes outfielder Randy Arozarena and infielder Isaac Paredes, whose names have popped up in trade rumors this offseason. While Glasnow is due a team-record $25 million salary in 2024, Arozarena and Paredes will be more cost-friendly and played pivotal roles for the Rays in 2023. Both will likely continue to play key roles for the team in 2024 should they stay.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes could be on the move this offseason. The 24-year-old is coming off a career season in 2023. He slashed .250/.352/.488 with 31 homers and 98 RBI in 571 plate appearances. Both the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners are reportedly showing interest in the young slugger. Parades is arbitration-eligible and projected to make a little over $3 million for the 2024 season. Given his career year, the Rays should be able to get a good return on the young slugger, assuming they decide to trade him this offseason.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. He also logged a run and a walk. The 24-year-old has had an excellent season as he has slugged 30 home runs and collected 95 RBI. Slashing .251/.354/.490, Paredes has been outstanding for fantasy managers who have him rostered. In 471 trips to the plate, he leads the Rays in both home runs and runs batted in.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is absent from the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This looks to just be a day off for the 24-year-old slugger as Curtis Mead will start at third base and bat sixth against Grayson Rodriguez and the O's. Paredes has put it all together this season for the Rays, slashing .249/.351/.492 with 29 home runs, 89 RBI, and one stolen base over 445 at-bats on the season. He should be back out there for Sunday's series finale.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (hand) is not included in Sunday's lineup against the Boston Red Sox. The 24-year-old was pulled from Saturday's game after being hit in the hand by a pitch during the fifth inning. Paredes is day-to-day with a right hand contusion after X-rays returned negative. Tampa Bay is back in action for the start of a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins on Monday. The slugger is slashing a powerful .255/.355/.506 with 29 home runs, 21 doubles, and 89 RBI in 499 trips to the dish. Jonathan Aranda steps in at the 5 and bats sixth for Sunday's tilt.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (hand) has been removed early from Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old was taken out of the contest after getting hit in the hand by a pitch in the fifth inning. Paredes has experienced some tough luck this season as he has been hit a league-leading 20 times so far. The expectation is that Paredes will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue. Oslevis Basabe took over at third base on Saturday and could see more playing time if Paredes is forced to miss more games.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a 7-4 win over the Mariners on Friday. Paredes knocked an RBI base hit off of right-hander George Kirby in the first frame. He would later crush a homer in the eighth inning while facing Mariners reliever Dominic Leone. After a solid evening at the plate, the 24-year-old now carries a slash line of .253/.352/.502 with 29 dingers and 89 RBI in 2023.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is not included in Thursday's lineup versus the Baltimore Orioles. Taylor Walls spells him at third base for this one while batting eighth against right-hander Kyle Gibson. The switch-hitting Walls is not much of a recommended streamer while hitting .177 with a .599 OPS in 175 at-bats opposing right-handed pitching in 2023. Paredes, despite a lowly 28.3% hard-hit rate, is slashing a strong .257/.360/.493 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, and one stolen base in 322 trips to the plate this year. It seems to render the 24-year-old something of a fantasy sell-high candidate without an everyday role on the packed Rays depth chart.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals. Taylor Walls is starting at the hot corner while Paredes gets the first game off, the latter will likely start Game 2, however. Paredes owns a solid .262/.369/.492 batting line with 15 home runs, 54 RBI, and one stolen base over 256 at-bats on the season.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (ribs) is back in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday to face the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola. Paredes is starting at third base and hitting fifth in the Rays batting order. Paredes was involved in a scary collision with Mariners first baseman Ty France on Sunday and had to leave the game, but he won't end up missing any games after Monday's off day. The 24-year-old is having a solid season for the first-place Rays, hitting .267 (66-for-247) with 14 home runs, 14 doubles, 53 RBI and 40 runs scored in 290 plate appearances and 76 games. He's been useful in all fantasy leagues while hitting in the heart of a strong Tampa lineup.

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes (rib) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Paredes was charging a ground ball at third base when he collided with Mariners first baseman Ty France, who was running from second to third base. The two of them collided, but both appear to have avoided serious injury. Paredes was able to walk off the field under his own power. He has been diagnosed with left-rib discomfort after the incident. That being said, fantasy managers should consider Paredes as day-to-day right now.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes went ballistic at the dish on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs and six RBI in an 8-3 win over the Texas Rangers. The 24-year-old now possesses a .503 SLG (.356 xSLG) and .370 wOBA (.298 xwOBA). Paredes' huge night reactivates his sell-high window after going just 2-for-22 across his prior seven games to this explosion. Fantasy managers may not desire to trade the right-hander amidst a 2023 breakout, but a bottom-of-the-barrel hard-hit rate (28.5%) coupled with a lack of speed raise some red flags. Paredes is perhaps overachieving while hitting .270 with an .855 OPS plus 11 long balls and 44 RBI this season.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is on a four-game hit streak as the Rays gear up to take on future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander Tuesday night. The 24-year-old has racked up six hits across his last 14 trips to the plate with a double, three runs, and a pair of RBI in that time. Paredes is now hitting .280 with four home runs and a .793 OPS across 38 appearances on the season but surprisingly has walked in just 5.8% of his plate appearances versus a 9.8% clip for his big-league career. Nonetheless, Paredes is yet another reliable bat in the Tampa Bay lineup as they continue to roll with an MLB-best 31-11 record and +120 run differential entering Tuesday's action.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is getting the start at second base and is hitting sixth in the batting order in Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Triston McKenzie as the Rays look to avoid elimination in the series. Paredes hit only .205 in the regular season in 331 at-bats, but he did manage to slug a career-high 20 home runs after hitting just two combined home runs in 2020 and 2021 for the Detroit Tigers. He entered the Game 1 loss on Friday in the eighth inning and singled in his only plate appearance, but he entered the postseason going 0-for-17 in 21 plate appearances in his final six regular season games.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. The organization has not given a reason as to why Paredes has been removed from the lineup. Hopefully, this is only a minor injury, because Paredes has been hot at the plate. In the meantime, Christian Bethancourt will cover first base and bat fifth against left-hander Jesus Luzardo on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Paredes.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is in the lineup on Wednesday at third base against the Oakland Athletics. Paredes, who was acquired from the Detroit Tigers in the Austin Meadows trade, is batting eighth. In seven plate appearances with Tampa Bay this season, the 23-year-old has collected a pair of hits. The infielder has yet to face Oakland starter Frankie Montas in his career. Given the matchup, you're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming options around the infield.

After the Tampa Bay Rays traded outfielder Austin Meadows to the Detroit Tigers on Monday in exchange for infielder Isaac Paredes and a competitive-balance pick in this year's draft, the team will call up outfield prospect Josh Lowe to put him on the Opening Day roster, according to a source. Lowe is the team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but he hit just .190 with two RBI and six strikeouts in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. The 24-year-old has 20-20 potential and should immediately become relevant in mixed fantasy leagues if he's playing every day in the big leagues. Paredes, 23, is likely to begin the year with Triple-A Durham, but he'll provide plenty of multi-positional versatility in the Rays organization in 2022 and beyond.

The Detroit Tigers activated third baseman Isaac Paredes (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Following the activation, the team optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. Paredes spent nearly a month on the injured list while dealing with a right hip strain. He has been rehabbing with Triple-A Toledo since Tuesday, so he will just remain there for now. Paredes has played in just 14 games with the Tigers this year and he has slashed .256/.340/.410 with one home run, four RBI and four runs.
