Rays All-Star 1B Jonathan Aranda goes on IL with fractured left wrist
TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays positioned All-Star first baseman Jonathan Aranda on the 10-day injured record Friday with a fractured left wrist.
Aranda was injured Thursday in a collision with New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton.
Aranda stated the harm didn’t really feel “catastrophic” and he is hopeful he’ll return this season, though the Rays cautioned he will not be capable of use the wrist for about three weeks.
Aranda’s wrist has been immobilized in an air forged and he is scheduled to endure extra imaging on the three-week mark. At that time, the Rays will reassess his return timetable.
“Let’s have a look at how the bone heals,” supervisor Kevin Money stated earlier than Friday night time’s collection opener in opposition to the Los Angeles Dodgers. “I feel he has re-imaging in about three weeks, however we’ll proceed to stay optimistic.”
Stanton hit a comfortable grounder within the fifth inning to 3rd baseman Junior Caminero, who charged in on moist grass to area the ball. Aranda reached for Caminero’s huge toss that sailed into the runner, and his left wrist appeared to hit Stanton’s left shoulder.
Aranda, a first-time All-Star, is batting .316 with 12 dwelling runs, 54 RBI in 103 video games this season. He has a .394 on-base proportion, and an .872 OPS, making him one of many majors’ most harmful hitters.
Money shifted Yandy DÃaz to first base in Aranda’s absence.
The Rays reinstated Ha-Seong Kim from the IL and recalled Tristan Grey from Triple-A Durham.
Commerce deadline acquisitions Griffin Jax and Hunter Feduccia had been energetic for Friday night time’s sport.
