Rays Place All-Star First Baseman Aranda on 10-Day IL After Wrist Fracture

An air cast holds his wrist in place until a follow-up MRI three weeks from now.

Overview

  • Jonathan Aranda fractured his left wrist on August 1 after colliding with Giancarlo Stanton in a game at Yankee Stadium.
  • The Rays placed him on the 10-day injured list on August 2 to open a roster spot for depth reinforcements.
  • His wrist has been locked in an air cast, ruling out its use for at least three weeks before a scheduled follow-up MRI.
  • Manager Kevin Cash shifted Yandy Díaz to first base, activated Ha-Seong Kim and recalled infielder Tristan Gray to shore up the lineup.
  • Aranda entered the injury batting .316 with 12 home runs and 54 RBIs and has expressed optimism about returning this season.
