The Tampa Bay Rays have placed designated hitter Yandy Diaz on the restricted list on Tuesday, and he won't be available when they start a three-game

The Tampa Bay Rays potentially have one of the best offensive lineups in MLB. Their lack of run-scoring abilities, though, is causing Rays manager Kevin Cash to look for some type of boost. “We’ve got to find a way to score more runs,’’ Cash said on Sunday following a Tampa Bay 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Tampa Bays Rays placed designated hitter Yandy Diaz on the restricted list due to a passport renewal issue

Designated hitter Yandy Diaz was placed on the restricted list as the Tampa Bay Rays opened a three-game series in Toronto on Tuesday because of what manager Kevin Cash termed a "passport issue."

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to commence a three-game home series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. This follows a successful road trip where the Blue Jays achieved a 4-2 record, including a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners.

Two days after the Rays were swept by the Phillies for the third time in as many years and in as many cities, yet another first took place during this unique 2025 season.

There have been some success stories, but also a need to score more, play better at home and stop allowing homers.
