Scouting Report: Justyn-Henry Malloy
Tampa Bay Rays | RF
Overall
Summary
Justyn-Henry Malloy, 26-year-old outfielder, was designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays in May 2026 after struggling at Triple-A Durham (.128/.273/.266 over 132 PA). Originally acquired from Detroit in a cash swap in January 2026, Malloy has failed to produce at the MLB level despite strong minor league performance. He posted a .203/.291/.366 line in 71 games as a rookie in 2024 (37% K rate) and .221/.346/.308 in 127 PA in 2025 (25.2% K rate). In 2025, he hit .322 with a .955 OPS in 329 PA at Triple-A Toledo but managed only 1 HR in 127 MLB PA. Cleared waivers and assigned outright to Triple-A Durham, where he remains as non-roster depth. Recent minor league activity shows some power potential (5 HRs in early 2026 Triple-A stint), but overall trajectory is concerning.
Strengths
- Strong Triple-A track record (.322/.955 OPS in 2025 with Toledo)
- Demonstrated power potential in recent minor league action (5 HRs in early 2026)
