Rays "Taking it Day to Day" With Jonathan Aranda
The Tampa Bay Rays are still "taking it day to day" with first baseman Jonathan Aranda (wrist), according to manager Kevin Cash. If the Rays activate Aranda from the 10-day injured list, it would require them to drop someone else from the active roster, which could still be in consideration. However, the minor league seasons are already over, notes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The 27-year-old left-handed slugger has been out since fracturing his left wrist in late July, and it remains to be seen if he'll actually return for the final series of the regular season this weekend in Toronto against the division-rival Blue Jays. The Mexican first baseman would finish with a .316/.394/.478 slash line, .871 OPS, 12 home runs, 54 RBI, and 53 runs scored in 358 at-bats this year if he's not activated from the IL. The All-Star will be a lock to open 2026 as Tampa's regular first baseman.
