Yandy Diaz

Yandy Diaz (knee) is out of the starting lineup for the Rays Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz will head to the bench after suffering a knee injury Friday. Brandon Lowe will enter the lineup and man first base and bat second against the Padres.

Yandy Diaz went 2-for-2 with a home run, two RBI, and a walk in the Rays' loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's disappointing 13-5 defeat, Diaz's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his consistent ability to contribute positively when at the plate. His season batting average now sits at a solid .276, and with 12 homers and 59 RBI over 124 games, Diaz continues to be a reliable source of moderate power and RBI production for fantasy managers. His low strikeout rate and decent wOBA suggest he remains a stable option in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward on-base percentage.

Yandy Diaz was removed from Friday’s game with left knee patellar tendinitis.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz was removed for a pinch runner after singling in the fourth inning. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Yandy Diaz is in the starting lineup for the Rays Tuesday.
