The Tampa Bay Rays have added infielder Alberto and outfielder Jack Suwinski to their 40-man roster, the club announced Wednesday. The moves protect both players from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft and signal the organization's confidence in their development.
Suwinski, 28, spent the 2026 season with the Oklahoma City Comets, the Rays' Triple-A affiliate, where he posted a .265 batting average with 22 home runs and 68 RBIs in 112 games. The left-handed hitter showcased his power potential on July 24, 2026, when he hit a solo home run against the Sacramento River Cats at Sutter Health Park.
Alberto, a versatile infielder, provides depth across multiple positions. Both players will attend major league spring training in 2027 and compete for roster spots on the Opening Day squad.
The Rays' 40-man roster now stands at 38 players, leaving flexibility for additional offseason acquisitions.
