Overview

  • Yandy Díaz, the Tampa Bay Rays' first baseman and designated hitter, has been placed on the restricted list ahead of the team's road series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
  • The restricted list placement is due to Díaz's invalid passport, which has not been renewed in time for his travel to Canada.
  • This marks the second time Díaz has missed a Toronto series, with a previous absence in July 2024 attributed to non-disciplinary family matters.
  • In response to Díaz's absence, the Rays recalled utility player Coco Montes from Triple-A Durham, where he has been hitting .279 across multiple positions.
  • Montes, in his third stint with the major league team this season, has played second base, third base, and left field while contributing a .839 career OPS in the minors.
