Yandy Diaz Still Out Thursday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. According to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin, Diaz recently received a cortisone shot. The 31-year-old will miss his third straight game this week due to left shoulder soreness, but he should be considered day-to-day for now. He could be back in there as early as Friday's game against Toronto. With Diaz out again, rookie Jonathan Aranda will start at third base on Thursday and will hit leadoff against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Aranda will be playing in just his 22 major-league game on Thursday. In 56 plate appearances, he's hitting .260 (13-for-50) with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored for the Rays.
