Player Outlook
It took Yandy Diaz until his age 31 season, but he finally got to the 20-homer plateau and threw in a league batting title as well in his career year. The homers were a bit front loaded as 12 of his 22 homers came in the first two months of the season before he hit just two over the entire of June and July before closing with 8 more down the stretch as he chased the batting title. He hit .300 or better in every month of the season as the most atypical leadoff hitter in the American League given his size. He leads off because (points to him) he gets on base. His worst monthly OBP split was .390 in June which is how someone built like a fire hydrant was able to score 95 runs. Diaz hit the 600 plate appearance mark for the first time but did have issues throughout the season in his lower back and legs. He is now only first base eligible but was also the sixth most valuable player at the position in 2023. Diaz will not repeat, but his stock has risen.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Officially activated

    Rotowire
    The Rays reinstated Diaz (personal) from the restricted list Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. Diaz was placed on the restricted list following the All-Star break and missed seven consecutive games for personal reasons. The 32-year-old will be available for Friday's series opener against the Reds and should slot in at first base. Diaz is slashing .273/.329/.396 with eight homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs during 416 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Expected back Friday

    Rotowire
    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Thursday on MLB Network Radio that Diaz (personal) is expected to rejoin the team before Friday's game against the Reds, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports. Diaz has been on the restricted list and away from the club since the start of the second half while dealing with a personal family matter, but it appears his absence will not extend any longer. The Rays already have an open roster spot after trading Randy Arozarena to the Mariners, so they won't need to make a corresponding transaction for Diaz.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: No timeline to return

    Rotowire
    Manager Kevin Cash said he had no update on Diaz's (personal) status prior to Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, MLB.com reports. Diaz has been away from the Rays since the All-Star break and was officially placed on the restricted list Saturday. Cash confirmed that Diaz's placement on the restricted list isn't the result of any team-related decision, as the veteran infielder is tending to a personal family matter. Diaz remains in daily communication with the team.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Placed on restricted list

    Rotowire
    The Rays placed Diaz (personal) on the restricted list Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports. Diaz was away from the Rays during Friday's game against the Yankees tending to a personal matter, and it remains unclear when he might return as he moves to the restricted list. In the meantime, Isaac Paredes will take over as the Rays' first baseman, and Curtis Mead will come up from Triple-A Durham to provide Tampa Bay with some additional infield depth.

    Rotowire
    Diaz will not be with the Rays for Friday's game versus the Yankees as he tends to a personal matter, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Diaz remains on the active roster for the time being, but it's not clear when he might be back in Tampa Bay's lineup. Isaac Paredes will handle first base duties Friday while Jose Caballero occupies the hot corner.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Logs three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Guardians. Diaz singled in the third inning and drove in a run on his 20th double of the year in the fifth. He later added a single in the seventh and has logged multiple hits in three of his past six games. On the year, the 32-year-old is hitting .276 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and 35 runs scored over 408 plate appearances.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Carries offense in loss

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. His seventh-inning shot off Jacob Latz gave the Rays a brief lead, but the bullpen immediately squandered it in the bottom of the frame. Four of Diaz's eight homers on the season have come in his last 14 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .311/.344/.574 with four doubles and 12 RBI -- although curiously, the only runs he's scored during that time have come on his own home runs, despite the fact that he's consistently batting leadoff for Tampa Bay.

    Rotowire

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Extends hitting streak to 19

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mariners. With his first-inning single off George Kirby, Diaz extended his streak to 19 games and tied the franchise record in the process. He's been a great tone-setter, with 40 RBI out of the leadoff spot this season, one of five players to reach that mark thus far. The 32-year-old has been on a tear in June, hitting .343 with three homers and 15 RBI.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Hitting streak up to 16

    Rotowire

He later led off the eighth with his third hit, which eventually saw pinch runner Jose Caballero cross the plate with the go-ahead run. Diaz extended his hitting streak to 16 games in the process, collecting his ninth multiple-hit effort during that stretch and fourth multi-hit game over the last five. He's batting 26-for-71 (.366) during the streak.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Homers, extends hitting streak

    Rotowire

Diaz collected two hits, including his fifth homer of the season, to extend his hitting streak to 13 games and his on-base streak to 22 games. He's batting .351 over the course of the hit streak, though he has just one home run, one double, four RBI and six runs scored to show for his efforts.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Nine-game hitting streak

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a walk Saturday against Atlanta. Diaz extended his hitting streak to nine games with the performance, during which he's collected multiple hits on five occasions. He's hitting .359 in that span, though his production has otherwise been empty as he has zero extra-base hits, one RBI and three runs scored. Diaz has managed only a .094 ISO across 309 plate appearances for the campaign, so his lack of power has not been a short-term issue.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Productive weekend series

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Orioles. Diaz had a strong weekend series thanks to some timely hits. Across the three games, he went just 3-for-11 but drove in four runs and also worked two free passes. Diaz has gone just 7-for-44 across his last 13 starts, though he's striking out at only a 10.6 percent clip in that span, meaning his numbers should start to tick back up.

    Rotowire
    Diaz isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against the Royals. Diaz will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 during a loss in Friday's series opener.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Swats late homer

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Red Sox. Diaz knocked in a run with a groundout in the second inning and added a solo shot in the ninth. He's up to four homers this season, three of which have come in his last 12 games, a span in which he's hitting .313 (15-for-48). The infielder is slashing .255/.321/.360 with 25 RBI, 22 runs scored, no stolen bases and nine doubles over 50 contests this season. Diaz had a career-high 22 homers in 2023, but that was an anomaly for him from a power standpoint -- he's much more of a contact-first hitter.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Reaches base five times

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 3-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Saturday against the Blue Jays. Diaz has gotten on track at the plate across the last two weeks, with Saturday's performance marking his eighth multi-hit performance across his last 15 games. He's gone 23-for-63 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored, also chipping in a pair of home runs. Overall, Diaz owns a 106 wRC+ but just a .097 ISO across 206 plate appearances for the season.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Continues hot stretch

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Yankees. Diaz launched his second homer in as many games and his third of the season. He has turned his results around in May, as he's maintained a .333 average with eight RBI and eight runs scored across 10 games. Diaz remains locked in as the Rays' leadoff hitter and should be a strong source of batting average and runs scored moving forward.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Three hits, homer in win

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Yankees.

  • Rays' Yandy Diaz: Three straight multi-hit games

    Rotowire
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two RBI on Sunday against the Mets. Diaz is hitting just .235 across his 150 plate appearances of the season, though his results have begun to turn around of late. Sunday marked his third straight start with two hits, and he also has a double, four RBI and a run scored in that span. Diaz has only two barrels in 114 batted ball events to begin the season, though he should continue to see hits fall in at an increased clip as he's maintained a 15.3 percent strikeout rate -- in line with his career norm.
