Yandy Diaz (shoulder) told reporters he expects to be able to play Tuesday against the Royals.
Diaz was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks with a left shoulder strain. The 34-year-old told reporters that he has managed a similar issue previously, and that while he’s “hurting a bit” he expects to be ready for Tuesday’s game in Kansas City. Fantasy managers should be encouraged that Díaz has a chance to go, but should be ready for an alternative.
