For the Rays, first baseman Yandy Diaz — who began his career with Cleveland — has bounced back after a slow start to the year. The veteran recently set a new Rays franchise record by recording a hit in 20 consecutive games, topping the 19-game mark established by shortstop Jason Bartlett in 2009.
Tampa Bay is slated to send its young phenom, Taj Bradley, to the mound on Friday. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 3.23 ERA with 77 strikeouts through 11 starts.
