Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) is in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Dallas Keuchel and the Minnesota Twins.
Diaz exited Tuesday's game with a testicular contusion, but he will start on first base and bat leadoff again Wednesday afternoon. The 32-year-old is 8-for-23 (.348) with 2 homers, 2 doubles, 4 RBI, 4 walks, and 6 runs scored over the past week of action.
numberFire’s models project Diaz ($9,500) to lead the single-game slate with 12.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays' implied total is 4.43 and the game total is 8.5. Keuchel has a 4.78 ERA and uglier 5.65 xERA across 26 1/3 innings this season. His 12.5% strikeout rate is lowest on the Wednesday slate among projected starters.
