John Romano’s takeaways from Friday’s Rays game against Twins

Christian Arroyo isn’t fooling around with this opportunity. After hitting a pair of doubles in his first game back from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Arroyo showed off his defense Friday. When Jorge Polanco dropped a beautiful bunt down the third-base line, Arroyo quickly pounced with a barehanded grab and offbalance throw that nailed Polanco easily.

With Yandy Diaz presumably near a return, and Joey Wendle and Matt Duffy on the horizon, you have to wonder how much longer Daniel Robertson has to turn his season around. After looking like a solid multipositional player in 2018, Robertson has struggled at the plate this season.
