What happened: Junior Caminero stepped behind the equipment to handle camera duties himself during Thursday's pre-series Media Day session at American Family Field. The media availability marks the final pregame obligation before the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers open the 2026 World Series.

Why it matters: The championship matchup guarantees that either Tampa Bay or Milwaukee will claim the first World Series trophy in Caminero reaches the sport's final stage after preparing for the 2026 Home Run Derby in July and helping power the Rays through the American League postseason bracket.

By the numbers: Caminero, 23, hit his first career postseason home run off the foul pole in the seventh inning of ALCS Game 6 to extend Tampa Bay's lead to 5-1 while logging the longest tracked MLB postseason home run trot.

What to watch: World Series Game 1 opens at American Family Field with the Rays and Brewers competing for an early series lead.
