Crosses home thrice vs. White Sox Vilade went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and three runs scored during the Rays' 8-5 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Impact Vilade put the Rays on the board with an RBI double to left field in the first. He came home to score in the same frame and tallied runs in the third and seventh frames. It was Vilade's first multi-hit game of the season and first since July 14, 2024 as a member of the Tigers. It was just his fourth start of the regular season, but his versatility to play in both the infield and outfield should allow him to see the field fairly often this year.

Tigers fans have to laugh as hated former outfielder cracks Rays' Opening Day roster Former Tigers outfielder Ryan Vilade will get his first Opening Day appearance with the Rays.

Makes Opening Day roster Manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Vilade will be on the Rays' Opening Day roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Vilade didn't have a particularly impressive spring, slashing .225/.319/.350 across 47 plate appearances, but he's earned a spot on the Rays' bench as a utility player. The 27-year-old is just 9-for-64 (.141) at the plate in his MLB career and shouldn't be viewed as someone who will make much of an impact in Tampa.

Traded to Rays The Rays acquired Vilade from the Reds on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Vilade had been a waiver claim of the Reds in June but didn't receive a plate appearance during his brief time with Cincinnati. The 26-year-old is 9-for-64 over parts of three seasons during his time at the big-league level. Vilade will attempt to win a reserve role with the Rays.

Impact Vilade was called up by Cincinnati in late June and saw the field once as a defensive replacement during his brief time in the majors. The 26-year-old played in seven games for St. Louis earlier in the campaign and went 1-for-13 with two walks, a run and five strikeouts.

Moving up to big leagues The Reds recalled Vilade from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on June 14, Vilade spent about a week and a half with Louisville before getting his first call-up to the Reds. He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Connor Joe, who was placed on the injured list after coming down with hand, foot and mouth disease. The right-handed-hitting Vilade brings ample defensive versatility to the table and could serve as a short-side platoon player for the Reds, but he won't be included in the lineup Wednesday while the Yankees send southpaw Max Fried to the hill.

Claimed by Reds The Reds claimed Vilade off waivers from the Cardinals on Saturday.

Impact The Cardinals pushed Vilade off their 40-man roster Thursday after he went just 1-for-13 during his seven-game tenure with the big-league club. The Reds, however, were evidently intrigued by his .851 OPS in the minors, so they'll bring him onto their 40-man roster and send him to Triple-A Louisville. Jacob Hurtubise was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Designated for assignment The Cardinals designated Vilade for assignment Thursday.

Impact Vilade received the call to St. Louis at the end of May but has since gone just 1-for-13 in seven games with the Cardinals. His poor performance will ultimately result in him losing his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Michael Siani was recalled from Memphis to replenish the big club's outfield depth, and Andre Granillo was selected from Triple-A to fill the open 40-man spot.

Gets start versus lefty Vilade is starting in right field and batting seventh in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact With left-hander Noah Cameron on the bump for the Royals, the right-handed-hitting Vilade will draw his first start since being called up by the Cardinals last week. Between Triple-A Memphis and his one plate appearance with St. Louis, Vilade has a .901 OPS against lefties in 2025.

Joins active roster The Cardinals selected Vilade's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Vilade has spent the entire season at Triple-A, where he owns a .280/.375/.476 slash line with five homers, 31 RBI, 33 runs scored and five stolen bases through 48 games. He'll now join the big club to help make up for the loss of Jordan Walker (wrist), though he isn't likely to crack the starting lineup often.

Misses out on Opening Day roster The Cardinals reassigned Vilade to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Vilade was one of 12 players sent out in the Cardinals' latest round of roster cuts leading up to Opening Day. As a member of the Tigers organization last season, the 26-year-old utility player saw his first big-league action since 2021, appearing in 17 games while slashing .178/.208/.244. Vilade is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Memphis.

Slated to turn 26 in February, Vilade saw starts at every position but shortstop, catcher and pitcher with Toledo.
