The Tampa Bay Rays didn't have Randy Arozarena in their starting lineup the past two games due to right hamstring tightness, but the left fielder is batting second against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.
Arozarena did not start against the Cubs on either Tuesday or Wednesday due to right hamstring tightness, although he was available off the bench. The veteran pinch hit in both contests, but went 0-for-2 overall.
Arozarena's absence didn't hurt the Rays as much as it would have in past years, considering just how slow of a start he has gotten off to in 2024. That is quite the departure from Arozarena's numbers over the past few years, starting with his star-making run in the 2020 postseason. From there, Arozarena won AL Rookie of the Year in 2021 and made the All-Star Game in 2023.
