Ben Gamel Stats

The Tampa Bay Rays are finalizing a deal to sign free-agent outfielder Ben Gamel to a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invite to major-league spring training, pending a physical. The left-handed hitter has played parts of seven seasons in the majors and was with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2022. He'll bring the Rays' camp roster to 81 players. Gamel hit .232/.324/.369 with a .693 OPS, nine home runs, 46 RBI, 42 runs scored and five stolen bases in 423 plate appearances and 115 games played for the Bucs. The 30-year-old will bring veteran experience and serve as outfield depth for the Rays this year. Gamel has a career .253/.333/.385 slash line with a .717 OPS, 40 home runs, 198 RBI and 21 stolen bases in 679 games over his seven MLB seasons.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel (hamstring) and first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) are both expected to be activated from the injured list prior to the team's two-game series against the New York Yankees, which begins on Tuesday. Both players have been out since late May. Gamel landed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain while Tsutsugo's move to the injured list was due to a lumbar muscle strain. Neither player is particularly intriguing for fantasy purposes. Gamel has a .257/.350/.386 slash line on the year while Tsutsugo is hitting just .177/.281/.257.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel continued his strong early-season performance Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a 10-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Gamel has never had a breakout season, but he's performed well for a Pittsburgh team that seems content to have him occupy a prominent spot in its lineup. Gamel is slashing .269/.355/.403 with three homers, two steals, 19 runs, and 17 RBI in 152 plate appearances. With playing time, the counting stats will add up for fantasy managers, even on a dismal Pittsburgh squad.
