Randy Arozarena Out Of The Starting Lineup Monday
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is absent from the starting lineup for Monday's game against right-hander Alek Manoah and the Toronto Blue Jays. Brett Phillips is getting the start in right field and leading off while Austin Meadows is covering left field. Arozarena returned from the paternity list on Saturday and went on to go 1-for-6 with three strikeouts in his first two games back. The right-handed Arozarena has been a regular in the team's starting lineup when available this year, however he's performed much better against lefties than righties. He has a .302/.385/.544 slash line against lefties and a .257/.335/.413 slash line against righties. The Rays face another right-hander in Jose Berrios on Tuesday, but Arozarena likely won't sit out two straight games.
