Yandy Diaz Dealing With Sore Shoulder
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash acknowledged that infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is dealing with a sore left shoulder, which is part of the reason he's been out of the lineup the last two days. Reports have surfaced that Diaz and Randy Arozarena had an altercation after Monday's game, but Cash wouldn't confirm or deny it, saying, "I'm very confident we're past everything." Fantasy managers should consider the 31-year-old as day-to-day for now. With Diaz out again on Wednesday, Isaac Paredes is playing the hot corner and batting seventh against Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. Paredes is hitting only .219 on the year, but he has plenty of power and has provided 19 homers and 44 RBI in his 297 at-bats. He's hitting just .184 (7-for-38) with a homer and four RBI in 17 September games.
