Yandy Diaz Leaves Sunday's Game Early
3 months agoTampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (arm) left Sunday's game early after being hit by a pitch in his left arm. The infielder was seen being checked out by a trainer before exiting the game. Diaz was replaced by Christopher Morel, who then shifted to the hot corner as Junior Caminero moved over to first base. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the Rays lineup on Monday evening ahead of their game against the Oakland Athletics as the 33-year-old may need a few days off. Diaz was enjoying another nice as season as he sits with a solid .273/.329/.396 line with 10 long balls. He holds a strong 15.7% K rate and an excellent 49.7% hard-hit rate. If Diaz were to miss an extended period of time, Caminero could see time at first base more often, or second baseman Brandon Lowe could shift over as well. UPDATE: Diaz was diagnosed with a left-forearm contusion.
