Rays’ power concerns could put playoff run at risk against Yankees or Red Sox

ESPN’s Jorge Castillo says Tampa Bay’s lack of power could bring an early playoff exit against the Yankees or Red Sox: Junior Caminero hit 42 homers, while Jonathan Aranda and Yandy Díaz hit 22 each; the trio accounted for more than half of the Rays’ 168 home runs.

The article says Tampa Bay’s pitching could keep either opponent quiet in a five-game series. Catcher Liam Hicks and outfielders Ryan Vilade and Victor Mesa Jr. are among the hitters who could add power.
