Rays' Cooper Kinney: Looks healthy for spring
Kinney (shoulder) is listed as an available bench player for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Kinney's inclusion on the lineup card is an indication that he's back to full health after finishing the 2024 season on High-A Bowling Green's injured list due to a right shoulder issue. Before being shut down with the injury, the 22-year-old infielder slashed .289/.352/.494 with 10 home runs and six stolen bases across 361 plate appearances with Bowling Green.

Rays' Cooper Kinney: Finishes year on IL
High-A Bowling Green placed Kinney on the 7-day injured list Sept. 6 with an undisclosed injury.
It's unclear what injury Kinney is dealing with, but he missed a little over three weeks with an undisclosed injury in August that also required a stint on the IL, so this latest issue may have been an aggravation. Injuries have already played a big role in Kinney's career, as shoulder surgery cost him all of 2022. Kinney was solid at Single-A in 2023 (110 wRC+), but he hit for significantly more power in his second season since the surgery. Kinney slashed .289/.352/.494 with 10 homers, 32 doubles, six steals and a 22.2 percent strikeout rate in 87 games for the Hot Rods. A lefty hitter who played the majority of his games at second base, Kinney does not project to offer positive defensive value, so he'll need to carry over his offensive success next year in his Double-A debut.

Rays' Cooper Kinney: Limited power at Single-A
Kinney is slashing .254/.323/.366 with six home runs in 77 games for Single-A Charleston.
A shoulder injury robbed Kinney of his 2022 season and he played just 11 games in the Florida Complex League after getting drafted with the 34th overall pick in 2021. He has split time between second base, first base and designated hitter, and he will need to provide more offense in the coming years to project that far down the defensive spectrum.

Rays' Cooper Kinney: Shut down after shoulder surgery
Kinney suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery this spring and is on the 60-day injured list at Low-A Charleston, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
The No. 34 overall pick in last year's draft, Kinney suffered the injury diving back into the bag during spring training. He will miss most, if not all of this season.
