Rays' All-Star Aranda Placed on 10-Day IL with Fractured Wrist

The Tampa Bay Rays placed All-Star first baseman Jonathan Aranda on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left wrist sustained in a collision with New York Yankees hitter Giancarlo Stanton. Aranda's wrist has been immobilized in an air cast, and he is expected to refrain from using it for about three weeks, after which the team will reassess his recovery and potential return. Despite the injury, Aranda remains optimistic about returning this season, noting the injury did not feel catastrophic. Aranda has been a key offensive player for the Rays, batting .316 with 12 home runs and a .394 on-base percentage, making his absence significant for the team. In his absence, manager Kevin Cash has moved Yandy Díaz to first base, while Ha-Seong Kim was reinstated from the injured list and Tristan Gray was recalled from Triple-A. The Rays are hopeful Aranda will rejoin the lineup as they continue to compete for a playoff position.
