Diaz hits solo home run in loss
Yandy Díaz went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, and two runs scored in a loss to the Yankees. Díaz had a strong series against the Yankees, going 6-for-11 with two home runs across the three games. He’s starting to heat up a bit at the plate and has raised his slash line to .250/.313/.356 with three home runs and 19 RBI. The Rays lineup should trend up in the coming months, and Díaz could be starting to heat up as the summer approaches. Now might be the time to try and see if you can acquire him in a trade.
Jansen throws scoreless ninth to earn save
Kenley Jansen threw a scoreless ninth inning in a 3-2 win over the Nationals to secure a save. The save was Jansen’s seventh on the season, and the veteran now has a 2.63 ERA on the year. He’s still likely to be moved by the trade deadline, but he figures to get a shot to close no matter where he goes, so he remains a rock-solid fantasy asset.
