Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Yandy Diaz left a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a left shoulder strain. Diaz, the American League’s leading hitter, appeared to aggravate the shoulder during a 10-pitch at-bat.
Diaz stayed in the game long enough to finish the at-bat, but later left the dugout and was replaced by Richie Palacios. Diaz is considered day-to-day and is expected to be ready for the team’s next game.
Diaz has dealt with shoulder discomfort for several years and has learned to manage it. He is confident that he will be able to continue playing despite the injury.
