  • Yandy Diaz homers as Rays defeat Twins in 10
    Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer and doubled in an extra-inning loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Diaz absolutely clobbered a two-run homer that went an estimated 439 feet to extend the Rays’ lead to 6-2 in the ninth. It turns out the Rays would need those runs, as Minnesota scored four to tie it in the bottom half of the frame. Diaz is starting to heat up again, and he’s been much better than the .264/.327/.368 slash suggests after his slow start. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:30 pm

  • Nine-game hitting streak
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a walk Saturday against Atlanta.

    Advice: Diaz extended his hitting streak to nine games with the performance, during which he's collected multiple hits on five occasions. He's hitting .359 in that span, though his production has otherwise been empty as he has zero extra-base hits, one RBI and three runs scored. Diaz has managed only a .094 ISO across 309 plate appearances for the campaign, so his lack of power has not been a short-term issue. Rotowire.com Jun 16, 6:55 am
