  • Yandy Díaz goes 0-for-5 in loss to Brewers
    Yandy Díaz finished 0-for-5 in the loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Díaz did reach on an error, but he was credited with four groundouts and one flyout today. His groundball rate is currently checking in at 62%, well above his already problematic career mark of 53%. Hopefully, it’s something he can straightened out in the next few weeks. If not, it looks like we’re back to the Díaz of 2019-21, when he was a valuable major leaguer but one without much to offer in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:49 pm

  • Back in action Sunday
    Diaz (finger) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Sunday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old sat out Saturday after being hit by a pitch in the left pinky finger Friday, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Diaz is hitting .324 in his past nine contests, though he's slugging just .378 during that stretch and has not hit a home run since Opening Day. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:04 am

  • Yandy Diaz returns to lineup from hand injury
    Yandy Diaz is leading off and playing first base against the White Sox on Sunday.

  • Available Saturday
    Diaz (hand) is not in the starting lineup but is available as a pinch hitter for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Diaz left Friday's game after taking a 99-mph fastball off his left pinky in the eighth inning. X-rays came back negative, and while he won't start Saturday, he will be available should the Rays need a right-handed bat. With Diaz in the dugout, lefty-hitting Austin Shenton will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:55 pm

  • Yandy Diaz (hand) held out of lineup on Saturday
    Yandy Diaz (hand) was held out of the Rays’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the White Sox.

    Advice: The hard-hitting 32-year-old infielder was drilled in the hand by a 99.3 mph fastball from Michael Kopech on Friday night. While he was fortunate to avoid any fractures in the ordeal, he’s still dealing with some soreness and swelling and may need to miss a couple of games even if he does avoid a trip to the injured list. Austin Shenton will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup against Jonathan Cannon and the White Sox. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:54 pm

  • X-rays negative on Yandy Diaz’s left hand
    X-rays came back negative on Yandy Diaz’s left hand.

    Advice: It’s an extremely positive development after Diaz was drilled on the left hand by a 99.3 mph fastball from White Sox closer Michael Kopech during Friday’s series opener. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. He’ll likely require a couple days off to rest and recover, at least until the swelling subsides, but he’s not facing an extended absence.

  • X-rays negative
    X-rays on Diaz's hand came back negative Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Diaz had to leave Friday's game after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during the eighth inning, but it seems he escaped the incident without suffering any significant damage. He may still step out of the lineup for a game or two to avoid playing with any lingering pain, but an extended absence isn't likely. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:43 pm

  • Exits after HBP
    Diaz was removed from Friday's game against the White Sox after getting hit by a pitch, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Diaz took a 99-mph fastball off his hand during the eighth inning of Friday's contest and was immediately replaced on the bases. He will presumably undergo imaging, and the Rays should offer an update on his status sometime after the game. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:07 pm

  • Yandy Díaz leaves game after hit by pitch (hand)
    Yandy Díaz was removed from Friday’s game against the Rays after being drilled in the left hand by a pitch from White Sox’ closer Michael Kopech.

    Advice: Díaz was the unfortunate victim of a 99.3 mph fastball from Kopech that caught him square on the hand. He’ll head for X-rays to determine if there are any fractures. All fantasy managers can do for now is wait and hope for the best. Expect Rays’ skipper Kevin Cash to provide an update after the game concludes. Rotoworld Friday, 7:04 pm
