Back in majors The Rays recalled Mead from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

Impact The 24-year-old was optioned to Durham in early July but will rejoin Tampa Bay for the final three games of the first half with Brandon Lowe (oblique) headed to the injured list. Mead has a .225/.320/.342 slash line with three homers and four steals in 128 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, and he's likely to operate as a reserve infielder while up with the Rays.

Optioned to Triple-A The Rays Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network SunMead to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

Impact With Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) returning from the 60-day IL on Thursday, Mead will end up as the odd man out of a spot in the Rays' infield unit. The 24-year-old slashed .225/.320/.342 with eight RBI and 14 runs scored through 128 plate appearances during his time in the majors, and he'll now serve as organizational depth at Triple-A.

Back on bench Wednesday Mead is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Mead had made three starts at three different infield spots over each of the last three games, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while Jonathan Aranda plays first base, Brandon Lowe covers second and Junior Caminero handles third. Those three players will be the primary starters at those positions against right-handed pitching, though Mead will likely replace one of three in the lineup when the Rays face lefties.

Rare start against righty Mead went 2-for-2 with three runs scored, three walks and an RBI on Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Mead made just his seventh start against a right-handed pitcher for the season, filling in at third base for Junio Caminero. He took advantage of the opportunity by reaching base in every plate appearance while scoring multiple runs in a game for the second time on the campaign. Mead is hitting a solid .250/.336/.385 across 110 plate appearances this season, but his playing time is too sporadic to be useful in most league formats.

Homers in three straight games Mead hit a two-run home run in his only plate appearance Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Mead has seen increased playing time across the last week, though that was only because the Rays faced three lefties. He's started just four games against right-handed pitching all season, limiting his fantasy appeal despite the fact that he has a home run in each of his last three games -- two of which were starts.

Goes yard again Friday Mead went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Getting the start at first base and batting eighth, the 24-year-old drove a cutter from lefty Eric Lauer down the left-field line in the fourth inning. Mead only has two homers on the season, but they've come in the last two games, and he has a six-game hitting streak going sandwiched around an eight-game stretch in which he didn't get off the bench, as the Rays faced nothing but right-handed starters. Despite being limited primarily to a short-side platoon role, Mead is finding his rhythm at the plate, and since the beginning of May he's slashing .286/.342/.486 in 38 plate appearances.

Cranks first homer in win Mead went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

Impact Making a rare start against a right-hander, Mead responded with his first home run of the year, a solo shot off Hunter Brown that put the Rays ahead 3-2 in the fourth inning. While Mead's playing time has been limited, he's now recorded at least one hit in five straight games -- he's gone 6-for-15 (.400) in that span. Overall, the 24-year-old Mead is slashing .206/.286/.279 with four RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases through 77 plate appearances this season.

Rays hit 4 home runs to beat Astros 8-4

MAY 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Getting first start since May 9 Mead will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Mead will crack the starting nine for the first time since May 9, after he had been on the bench for each of the past eight contests while the Rays opposed right-handed starters. The 24-year-old is batting just .169 on the season and looks like he'll remain in a short-side platoon role for the foreseeable future.
