Yandy Diaz Hopes To Return Soon
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) was out of the starting lineup for the fifth straight game on Sunday with a left shoulder injury, but he said he was feeling "a lot better" after receiving an injection and hopes to return as soon as possible. Diaz said he's dealt with left shoulder pain the last four years, especially late in each season, but he expects to avoid the injured list. The 31-year-old corner infielder was available to pinch hit in Sunday's game, so there's a chance that he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians after an off day on Monday. In 465 at-bats for the Rays this year, Diaz is hitting a strong .292/.399/.419 with an .818 OPS, nine home runs, 54 RBI, 69 runs scored and three stolen bases, so fantasy managers definitely need him back in there sooner than later.
