Yandy Diaz Still Absent Thursday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Diaz hasn't played in over a week due to a shoulder injury. He was in the original lineup on Wednesday but was scratched. Fantasy managers can only hope the 31-year-old can return at some point this weekend for the final few games of the regular season. Isaac Paredes is getting another start at third base on Thursday and will hit eighth against Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill. Paredes has gone just 3-for-21 (.143) with a homer, RBI and four strikeouts in his last nine games. He's hitting only .217 on the year as a whole, but he has plenty of power (20 home runs in 360 plate appearances).
