For starters: Yandy Diaz returns to Rays lineup; Alvarado placed on family medical emergency list

ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays activated Yandy Diaz from the injured list this morning and he will be the team's starting DH in today's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Tropicana Field.

While the Rays are getting Diaz back to the starting lineup, they remain without outfielders Tommy Pham (calf) and Avisail Garcia (hamstring). Manager Kevin Cash said he wanted to give both players Sunday off so that combined with Monday's off day, they will have four days off from their injuries.

Expect both to be back on Tuesday when the Rays open their road trip in Detroit.
