Rays Place Yandy Diaz On 10-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | September 1, 2020 at 2:48pm CDT

The Rays have placed corner infielder Yandy Diaz on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain, the club announced.  Infielder Nate Lowe has been called up from the alternate training site to take Diaz’s spot on the active roster.

While the Rays have been hit hard by pitching injuries in recent weeks, Diaz is a notable loss on the position player side.  Playing mostly every day at third base for the Rays, Diaz has hit .307/.428/.386 this season, good for a 130 OPS+ and 136 wRC+ over 138 plate appearances.  Diaz’s patience at the plate is obviously the big contributor to his production, as he has shown very little power and not even much hard contact, as Statcast ranks Diaz in the bottom ninth percentile in barrels and in the bottom 19th percentile in hard-hit balls.

Still, losing a player with a .428 OBP is naturally a big loss to any lineup, though the versatile Rays are better equipped than most teams to withstand Diaz’s absence.  Joey Wendle seems likely to get the bulk of third base work with Diaz out, and Yoshi Tsutsugo and Mike Brosseau on hand for further depth.

Lowe could also be in the picture, as he played a handful of games at third base during 50 games with Tampa Bay last season.  Lowe hit .263/.325/.454 with seven home runs over his first 169 PA in the majors, and the well-regarded prospect has an impressive .300/.400/.483 slash line and 54 homes over 1718 career plate appearances at the minor league level.

    Finally. Yanks have lost so many. Easy for Rays to breeze through that way…times are hopefully changing.

      You’re kidding me, right?

      Here are the injuries for your first place Rays:
      Zunino- starting catcher.
      Yandy- Starting third base.

      Morton (back tomorrow)- no. 2 starter.
      Yonny- 5th Starter
      Yarbs- 4th starter/ long relief
      McKay- 4th Starter
      Beeks- Long Relief
      Drake- 6th inning reliever
      Anderson- Closer
      Alveraldo- 7th inning reliever
      Kittredge- multiple inning high leverage.
      Roe- high leverage reliever.

      Either you comment was a lame joke or ignorance.

    I wish they’d give Nate Lowe a legit shot to show what he can do. Looks like a real solid hitter to me….don’t know why they seem so hesitant to give him regular AB’s

      the lack of AB is because this team mixes and matches lineups daily, not a bad thing per se. Also for some reason they add to the mix. For example the Jose Martinez trade, which I didn’t really see the need for, when that happened there went Nate’s at-bats right off the bat, no pun intended

    Do you really believe the Yankees have been hit harder than the Rays.

    The Rays currently have 9! pitchers on the DL.

    Just because it happens to the Yankees doesn’t make it worse.

      11 pitchers and 2 position players on the IL for TB.
      Wahhnkee fans will cry about the precious porcelain superstars being hurt. Didn’t they learn to not put all their eggs in a one basket? You’d think they’d have incredible depth with a 78billion dollar payroll. Nope…
