The Rays placed Yandy Diaz on the restricted list:

He did not accompany the team to New York in advance of Friday’s 6-1 loss to the New York Yankees, with manager Kevin Cash citing “a personal matter.”

“Probably leave it at that,” Cash said.

You can make a good argument that Diaz ranked as Tampa Bay’s best hitter since the start of 2023. This is a bit of a blow for a team already struggling this season.
