What happened: Junior Caminero said his foot is fine for Wednesday night's World Series Game 5 matchup alongside Jackson Chourio, per Alden Gonzalez. Caminero sat out pregame infield drills before confirming his availability for the contest.

Why it matters: Game 5 places two of baseball's premier young cornerstones on the postseason's biggest stage with the title within reach. Caminero homered in six straight games during a July surge before powering his way into the Fall Classic opposite Chourio.

By the numbers: Caminero turned 23 in July on the heels of a six-game home run streak during the 2026 campaign, while he and Chourio carried a combined career MVP projection of two entering the World Series.

What to watch: First pitch for World Series Game 5 is set for Wednesday night with both young stars in the spotlight.
