Just three days after departing a game against the Miami Marlins with left groin tightness, Tampa Bay Rays All-Star Yandy Diaz returned to the starting lineup and made an immediate impact.
Diaz delivered a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning that drove home Jose Siri with the winning run in the visiting Rays' 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.
"It's probably something that Yandy will have to manage throughout the rest of the season, and just hopefully he's not overextending himself on stretches, rounding the base, or slipping off the base to aggravate it," Cash said. Rookie right-hander Hunter Brown has the starting assignment for the Astros. He logged a quality start but did not get a decision against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday after allowing two runs on six hits while recording four strikeouts over six innings in the Astros' 3-2 victory. Even with that solid outing, Brown is 0-4 with a 6.30 ERA over his last six starts.
