Jonathan Aranda went 3-for-6 with a double, one run scored and two RBI in Sunday’s 11-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Aranda turned in an impressive series, going 6-for-13 with one home run, one double, three walks, four RBI and three runs scored. He batted third on Opening Day against a left-handed starter, then moved up to second in the lineup Saturday and Sunday with a right-hander on the mound. He’s worth considering on the waiver wire after that performance, especially after slashing .316/.393/.489 across 106 games in 2025.
Jonathan Aranda went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two RBI in Thursday’s 9-7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
The left-handed-hitting Aranda batted third in the Tampa Bay Rays’ Opening Day lineup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore, an encouraging sign he can remain in the heart of the order regardless of matchup.

He turned in a strong Opening Day performance and is coming off an impressive .316/.393/.489 slash line with 14 home runs across 106 games in 2025, making him an intriguing waiver wire option for teams in need of a first baseman, especially given his lineup spot on Thursday.
