Yandy Diaz Dealing With Minor Hip Injury
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (hip) will miss another game on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins because he's being bothered by his left hip. However, he'll be available off the bench on Thursday and expects to return to the starting lineup on Friday against the Texas Rangers. The 31-year-old is missing his second straight game because of the hip injury, but he should be available again to fantasy managers this weekend against Texas. Luke Raley is getting the nod at first base on Thursday and is batting cleanup against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Diaz has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues this year when he's been in the lineups, as he's hitting an impressive .316 (62-for-196) with 13 doubles, 12 home runs, 34 RBI and 41 runs scored in 52 games. He's only two homers away from tying his career-high of 14 homers set in 2019.
