Yandy Diaz
3B - TB
Ownership
Eligibility
Yandy Diaz (foot) will play in an instructional league game Saturday with the goal of being activated from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Fantasy Impact
This is good news for fantasy owners as Diaz has made a quicker-than-expected recovery from a fractured foot, as the expectation had been that he wouldn't return this season. Keep an eye on updates to see if Diaz does indeed make it back on Sunday.
Rays infielder Yandy Diaz had a CT scan that revealed what they said was an uncommon hairline fracture of the navicular bone in his left foot, according to Rays beat writer Marc Topkin on Twitter. He will be shut down for 6-to-8 weeks before being re-evaluated.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz was on the injured list with a foot contusion, but he was not progressing and felt increased pain while fielding ground balls this week. Now that it was revealed that he will be shut down for the next two months with a hairline fracture, he will miss the rest of the fantasy season and playoffs and can be dropped in redraft formats.
Rays infielder Yandy Diaz has yet to resume baseball activities as he attempts to recover from a foot contusion after fouling a ball off his foot in a game last week. Manager Kevin Cash indicated that both Diaz and Brandon Lowe are still "aways away" from returning.
Fantasy Impact
Neither Diaz nor Lowe broke any bones after fouling balls off themselves, but both have been slow to recover and remain without timelines for returns. Look for an update on their statuses later in the week.
Rays infielder Yandy Diaz was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left foot contusion one day after fouling a ball off his foot and being forced to leave the game. Matt Duffy was activated off the injured list and will bat fifth Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
While he lands on the IL, it sounds like Diaz has just a contusion and not any broken bones, which is an encouraging sign. He joins Brandon Lowe as the latest Rays player to land on the injured list after fouling a ball off their own leg.
Yandy Diaz left Monday's game against the Red Sox after fouling a ball off his left foot, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz had to leave in the middle of an at-bat and was in considerable pain. We will have to wait for test results but an IL trip could be coming for Diaz. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on updates.
