    • Jackson Chourios knocks in two against Reds
      Jackson Chourio singled twice and knocked in two runs against the Reds on Friday.

      Advice: Chourio would surely be back in the minors at this point if he hadn’t signed a long-term deal this spring, but it’s not like he’s embarrassing himself with a .229/.280/.365 line as a 20-year-old in a season in which offense has been hard to come by. His long-term outlook hasn’t diminished at all, even if he still doesn’t seem like a very good bet in mixed leagues over the rest of 2024. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:24 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena (hamstring) rejoins Rays lineup
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena is playing left field and batting second against the Cubs after being held out of the lineup for the last two games of the series due to right hamstring tightness. He was able to pinch-hit each of the last two nights and remained in to play left field last night. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:54 pm
       
    • Returns to Tampa Bay lineup
      Arozarena (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena missed the previous two contests with right hamstring tightness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The 29-year-old will bring a disappointing .599 OPS into play Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:19 pm
       
    • On bench again Wednesday
      Arozarena (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Arozarena will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. Given that the Rays felt comfortable enough using Arozarena as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-2 win, he's seemingly on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. Arozarena's absence from the lineup Wednesday will enable the Rays to give Yandy Diaz a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:00 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena remains out of lineup Wednesday
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena is battling through a hamstring issue but was able to pinch hit on Tuesday. The Rays are calling him day-to-day, so it’s likely that he’s close but not ready to be out in the field for an entire game or sprinting around the bases. The Rays will start Richie Palacios in left field. Jose Caballero is also back in the lineup at third base with Isaac Paredes moving to first and Yandy Diaz at DH.

    • Gaining traction in lineup
      Chourio will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Chourio will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with three of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch. The rookie went 4-for-13 with a home run, a double and two walks over his previous four starts, and his recent surge at the plate could be enough for him to unseat the lefty-hitting Jake Bauers as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Bauers is in the lineup Wednesday against Toronto righty Chris Bassitt, but he was on the bench for two of the Brewers' previous three matchups with right-handers.

    • Randy Arozarena (hamstring) pinch-hits on Tuesday
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter during Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs.

      Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging sign that Arozarena was available to pinch-hit after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with right hamstring tightness. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has shown some real signs of life recently, so the hope here is that he’ll be ready to return to Tampa Bay’s lineup shortly. It doesn’t appear that he’s dealing with a serious ailment and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day moving forward. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:26 am
       
    • Managing hamstring issue
      Arozarena was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs due to right hamstring tightness, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: It's unclear when exactly Arozarena picked up the injury as he started the previous eight games, with all but one of those starts coming in the outfield. The 29-year-old slugger should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:21 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena out Tuesday with hamstring issue
      Randy Arozarena was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to right hamstring tightness.

      Advice: Not good. Arozarena will presumably undergo some additional imaging after being scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Cubs to determine the severity of the issue. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has gotten off to an abysmal start to the season with a .604 OPS with eight homers and seven steals across 264 plate appearances in 64 games. There should be an official update on his status shortly. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:17 pm
