Rays' Yandy Diaz: Knocks in two
Diaz went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday against the Marlins.
Diaz was held out of the Rays' series earlier in the week against the Blue Jays due to passport issues, but he returned Friday and has started both games since. He delivered a key two-RBI single in the fifth frame Saturday and tallied his first multi-hit game since May 4. As that implies, Diaz has slowed a bit this month by going 10-for-47, albeit with 10 RBI and three runs scored across 12 games.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Back from restricted list
The Rays reinstated Diaz (personal) from the restricted list Friday.
The 33-year-old was unavailable for a three-game series in Toronto due to a passport issue, but he's back with the Rays for Friday's series opener in Miami. Diaz has a .238/.291/.400 slash line with six homers through 175 plate appearances this year, and he's batting just .184 (7-for-38) through 10 games in May.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Pops sixth homer
Diaz went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Thursday against the Phillies.
Diaz slotted into the leadoff spot for the second straight game since returning from a hip injury -- both of which came against lefties. He popped his sixth home run of the season in the seventh inning, his third in his last seven games. Diaz now has a .174 ISO across 163 plate appearances, which would be good for the second-highest mark of his career.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Handling DH duties Wednesday
Diaz (hip) will serve as the Rays' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Diaz exited Tuesday's 8-4 win early due to right hip tightness, but he downplayed the injury after the game and suggested he would be back in action Wednesday. His prediction appears to have come true, and he'll move up to the top of the order after having occupied the No. 3 spot in his previous two starts. The left-handed-hitting Chandler Simpson could continue to bat leadoff against right-handed pitching, but Diaz looks like he'll be the Rays' preferred table setter versus lefties such as the Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Exits early Tuesday
Diaz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to an apparent leg injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Diaz was favoring his right leg after taking an awkward swing during the sixth inning, and he was replaced by Christopher Morel in the middle of his at-bat. An update on Diaz should come once the Rays' medical staff is able to take a closer look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Rays' Yandy Diaz: Club option for 2026 exercised
The Rays exercised Diaz's $12 million option for 2026 and added a vesting option for 2027 on Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
Diaz's option for 2027 would vest if he reaches certain performance thresholds in 2026. The 33-year-old's performance in 2024 fell off a bit compared to his 2023 and 2022 seasons, but he still slashed .281/.341/.414 with 14 home runs in 2024 and boasts a career .373 on-base percentage. Diaz is slated to serve as the Rays' primary first baseman again in 2025, and he should also see ample starts at designated hitter.
