Yandy Diaz idle for Rays against Blue Jays
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Kevin Gausman and the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
The Rays are giving Diaz an additional day off after he went 2-for-13 in the weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. Isaac Paredes will cover third base and bat third while Luke Raley replaces Diaz in the lineup to play right field and bat eighth. Randy Arozarena will bat leadoff as the Rays' designated hitter, with Brandon Lowe batting second and Ji-Man Choi in the cleanup spot.
Paredes has a $2,800 salary on Tuesday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays’ implied total (3.31) is fifth-lowest in the majors on Tuesday.
