Mead was recalled Friday from Triple-A Durham, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Mead missed all of May and most of June because of a wrist injury, but the 22-year-old top infield prospect had slashed .355/.460/.438 in 113 plate appearances since returning to Durham's active roster. He doesn't offer a ton of immediate counting-stat upside, but Mead is a very polished hitter for his age with the capability to play either third base or second base for the Rays. He could draw starts against lefties in a platoon with Brandon Lowe in his first stint in the majors.
