Yandy Diaz Back In The Lineup
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays corner infielder Yandy Diaz (neck) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after leaving Monday's game early due to neck spasms. Diaz is hitting leadoff and playing first base against Baltimore Orioles left-hander John Means. While Means has been one of the better left-handed pitchers in baseball this year, he's also making his first start back from the injured list, so he could be more vulnerable. Diaz has a pedestrian .252/.372/.342 slash line with five home runs, 32 RBI and 37 runs scored on the season, but he's been more reliable against southpaws and continues to get on base at a nice clip. Setting the table for a solid Rays lineup gives Diaz plenty of appeal in leagues with daily lineup changes.
