Rays' Randy Arozarena: Returns to Tampa Bay lineup
Rotowire
Arozarena (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game versus the Cubs.
Arozarena missed the previous two contests with right hamstring tightness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The 29-year-old will bring a disappointing .599 OPS into play Thursday.
Arozarena (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Arozarena will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. Given that the Rays felt comfortable enough using Arozarena as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-2 win, he's seemingly on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. Arozarena's absence from the lineup Wednesday will enable the Rays to give Yandy Diaz a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter.
Arozarena was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs due to right hamstring tightness, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.
It's unclear when exactly Arozarena picked up the injury as he started the previous eight games, with all but one of those starts coming in the outfield. The 29-year-old slugger should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.
