June 29, 2025 12:31 AM : Thaiss went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI on Saturday against the Orioles.
Analysis: Thaiss remains the backup to Danny Jansen behind the plate for the Rays, though Saturday marked his fourth start in the last eight games. He delivered a two-RBI triple in the seventh inning to record his third multi-RBI performance of the campaign and second in his last four starts.
