Diaz is off to a nice start this season hitting 9-for-25 (.360) with five extra-base hits, three RBI and six runs in seven games. Diaz looks to have an everyday role and has been playing first base, third base and DH. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues should be adding Diaz.

Yandy Diaz has been held out of Wednesday's afternoon contest against the Rockies. Diaz exited Tuesday's game with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz's ankle injury is said to be minor, but it's still not surprising to see him held out of the day game after a night game. Diaz is off to a hot start with the Rays and has been hitting in the heart of the order against RHP and leadoff against southpaws. He's an early target in deeper leagues and those with CI spots.

Yandy Diaz was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Rockies after tweaking his ankle, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Fantasy Impact

Manager Kevin Cash doesn't believe the ankle injury is serious. With the Rays off on Wednesday, Diaz could be back in the lineup on Thursday. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on updates to ensure Diaz is back on the field.

Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer as the Rays topped the Astros 4-2 on Friday. Diaz took Gerrit Cole deep for a home run in the sixth inning.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz is playing a full-time role at third base for the Rays while Matt Duffy is recovering from an injury and is on the injured list. Diaz played well with the Indians at the end of last season and if he can hit for the Rays he may win the position. For now, Diaz is only a deeper league own.
