Prior to Tuesday night’s contest against the New York Yankees, the Tampa Bay Rays have placed infielder Yandy Diez on the 10-day Injured List with a right hamstring strain and have activated infielder Nate Lowe to take his place on the roster.
Diaz has been an on base machine for the Tampa Bay Rays this season and has been tapping into his power over the past 10 games. Last night, Diaz felt some discomfort while running out a groundball. Although he would play defense the following inning, Diaz was eventually removed from the game with a hamstring concern.
