Yandy Diaz Out Of Lineup Against Blue Jays
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is dealing with what manager Kevin Cash called "a family matter" and is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays for the second straight day. The Rays have also called up infielder Vidal Brujan and placed right-hander Zack Littell (shoulder) on the injured list with a "cranky shoulder." Hopefully, Diaz will be back in action for fantasy managers on Thursday in the series finale against the Blue Jays. With Diaz out, Luke Raley is starting at first base and batting seventh, while outfielder Manuel Margot is in the leadoff spot against Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. The 31-year-old Diaz has been a must-start in fantasy lineups in 2023 with an impressive .322 average (49-for-152), nine doubles, 11 home runs, 27 RBI and a league-leading .425 on-base percentage.
