Tristan Gray hit his first career grand slam to cap a seven-run seventh inning for the Minnesota Twins in a 10-4 home-opener victory over the Tampa Bay Rays

APRIL 4 • Associated Press

Idle against righty Williamson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Williamson was part of the Opening Day lineup while the Rays faced off against lefty Matthew Liberatore, but he's been held out of the starting nine for two straight games versus right-handers. Williamson looks like he may have to settle for the short side of a platoon at second base with Richie Palacios until the Rays get Gavin Lux (shoulder) back from the injured list.

Impact "The bat has really come to life," Cash said of Williamson. "He's a big, strong guy and the power has kind of showed up here. He's had some big at-bats and drives the ball well, so it looks like he can really help us." Acquired this offseason from Seattle, Williamson is hitting .375 with two home runs, two steals and a 5:4 K:BB in 36 plate appearances this spring. While the righty-hitting Williamson figures to be in the lineup against lefties, his strong spring and quality defense at multiple positions opens the door for him to find work against righties as well.

Mariners acquire All-Star Brendan Donovan from Cardinals in three-team trade with Rays

The Seattle Mariners have acquired All-Star infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals in a three-team trade with the Tampa Bay Rays

FEBRUARY 2 • Associated Press

Heading to Tampa Bay The Rays acquired Williamson from the Mariners on Monday as part of a three-team trade involving the Cardinals, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Brendan Donovan is headed to Seattle as part of the deal. Williams is a glove-first third baseman who slashed just .253/.294/.310 with one homer in 85 regular-season games for the Mariners in 2025. He is now stuck behind Junior Caminero in Tampa Bay, so Williamson could begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Durham.

Optioned to Triple-A Williamson was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Williamson had been the Mariners third baseman prior to the Eugenio Suarez acquisition, and it makes more sense for Williamson to be playing every day at Triple-A than playing sparingly in the majors. Known more for his glove than his bat, Williamson is slashing .253/.294/.310 with one home run and five steals in 85 games as a rookie.
