Jonathan Aranda Activated From Injured List on Friday
The Tampa Bay Rays activated infielder Jonathan Aranda (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and placed outfielder Everson Pereira (back) on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, according to the team. The Rays have not released their starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays, but Aranda should be back in there for the first time since fracturing his left wrist in late July. The 27-year-old left-handed slugger won't be able to contribute in fantasy, but he will make it back for the final three games of the regular season in what has been a breakout year for him. The Mexican first baseman was on a tear before his injury this summer, batting .316 (113-for-358) with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, and 53 runs scored in 103 games played. Aranda will be a nice source of power at the first base position going into next year.
