Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (back, knee) said his back and right knee were a little sore after crashing into the left field wall to make a leaping catch on Wednesday after entering the game as a pinch-hitter, but he expects to be OK to play Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers should still check back on Thursday to make sure he's officially back. Arozarena has been a no-brainer must-star in all fantasy leagues this year, as the 28-year-old Cuban entered Wednesday's action hitting .278/.382/.472 with an .854 OPS, 17 home runs, 10 doubles, two triples, 61 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 58 runs scored in 93 games (398 plate appearances). Be ready to get him back in there on Thursday.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco and outfielder Randy Arozarena are both out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. Taylor Walls will man the 6 and bat eighth, while Luke Raley will start in left field and bat in the two-hole against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. Franco and Arozarena are both fine and are just getting rest days. Franco has gone hitless in seven at-bats in his last two contests, but the 22-year-old remains an elite shortstop in fantasy. He's hitting just .188 (9-for-48) with two homers and four RBI in 13 games in July. Arozarena, like Franco, has been a must-start for fantasy managers in 2023 when he's on the field. The 28-year-old has been a bit sluggish as well in July, going 11-for-50 (.220) with two homers and four RBI in 13 games played.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers. He took Rangers right-hander Grant Anderson deep in the seventh inning for his 17th home run of the season. Arozarena started the first 30 days of the season strong with a slash line of .327/.392/.573. Over the last 30 games, he is batting .254/.328/.430. The Rays are 3-10 in July, yet still in first place in the AL East by one game. Arozarena finished the 2022 season as the team's offensive leader, with 20 home runs, 89 RBI, and a slash line of .263/.327/.445. His bat and Tampa's close-knit locker room are the keys to the Rays getting back on track, which could happen sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Arozarena in all league formats.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena was already named an All-Star starter earlier in the week. Now, the 28-year-old will participate in the upcoming 2023 All-Star Home Run Derby in Seattle. Arozarena has already experienced some big moments in his career during the postseason and World Baseball Classic. Arozarena will join Julio Rodrguez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Mookie Betts, and others in the star-studded slug fest in a few weeks.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup on Thursday as the team takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks. It's a good time for Arozarena to rest after playing in each of the team's last 21 games, and he had gone hitless in his last three with three strikeouts in 12 plate appearances. The 28-year-old has been a must-start for fantasy managers when he's active this year, though. Arozarena has been a dynamic player for the Rays with a .286 average (80-for-280) with 14 home runs, nine doubles, a triple, 54 RBI, nine stolen bases and 49 runs scored in 79 games. He should be back in there on Friday for the start of a series against the Seattle Mariners. Luke Raley is starting in left field and batting third on Thursday against Diamondbacks right-handed rookie Brandon Pfaadt.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI to propel the team to a 6-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday. The 28-year-old is delivering an MVP-caliber campaign, slashing .285/.403/.488 with 13 blasts, 48 RBI, and nine stolen bases in the potent Rays lineup this year. Arozarena may have been caught stealing seven times this season, but luckily that area is not weighted in the majority of fantasy leagues. Managers should continue to deploy the five-category star as one fantasy's premier outfielders going forward.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a rare day off for Arozarena who started both games over the weekend. He'll get a breather with Luke Raley and Josh Lowe covering the corner outfield spots versus right-hander Brayan Bello on Monday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Arozarena out. The assumption is that he'll return to the lineup after his rest day on Monday.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Monday and is hitting second against Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Meanwhile, outfielder Randy Arozarena is taking the day off. Franco returned to the lineup on Friday after missing some time last week with a shoulder injury, but he tweaked his hamstring and didn't play Saturday or Sunday. Fantasy managers need to return the 22-year-old All-Star to all of their starting lineups. Arozarena went hitless with three strikeouts in five at-bats on Sunday and is in a bit of a funk at the plate in the last week-plus, so it's a good time to give the 28-year-old some rest. In his absence, Luke Raley is starting in left field and hitting sixth in the lineup against Bello.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 0-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in a 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Arozarena has hit a bit of a wall over the last seven contests, going 3-for-22 with a pair of RBI and two stolen bases. He's batting just .136 with a .537 OPS over that span as well. He's still been a fantasy force overall and will look to pick things up at the dish starting Monday when the Rays host the Blue Jays for a four-game set at Tropicana Field. On the season, the 28-year-old is slashing .304/.403/.530 with 10 home runs, 36 RBI, and five stolen bases over 168 at-bats.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the team's lineup Wednesday evening against the Orioles. It's a routine day off for the 28-year-old, who is sitting out for just the third time this year. Arozarena trails only Ronald Acuna Jr.among hitters atop fantasy baseball rankings in 5x5 category leagues this year. Arozarena is slashing a wonderful .321/.396/.575 with nine homers, 30 RBI, and three stolen bases in 2023. Look for the former ALCS MVP to return to action for a weekend series in the Bronx against the division-rival Yankees.

Tampa Bay Rays Outfielder Randy Arozarena hit his second home run of the season Saturday. Arozarena went 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored. Arozarena has a .367/.472/.667 slash line to begin the year. He has four strikeouts to four walks and his 10 RBI are among the most in the league.

He had a .450/.607/.900 slash line in six games for Mexico. Before heading out for the WBC, he hit two home runs for the Rays in spring training and he looks ready to make an impact again this season. After stealing 32 bases and hitting 20 home runs, expect another similar season for the outfielder. His RotoBaller rank of 39 and ADP of 51 are a little separated, but both are high prices for his services.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the Houston Astros and right-hander Luis Garcia, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. Arozarena will return after missing the last two games, but he's ready to go to begin the week and should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. The 27-year-old Cuban is batting .266/.331/.450 with 19 home runs, 79 RBI, 66 runs scored and a career-high 30 stolen bases in 586 plate appearances and 139 games played. In the month of September, he's gone 15-for-60 (.250) with a homer, nine RBI, eight runs scored and three steals in 15 games.

Arozarena was in a minor slump before the game, going 3-for-24 over his previous six games. The speedster has been an all-around contributor again, hitting .268 with 19 HRs, 79 RBI, 66 runs, and 30 SBs over 138 games. His outstanding numbers make him a deserving starting outfielder across every format.

The 27-year-old remains an obvious must-start in fantasy lineups, and he's two home runs shy of reaching the 20-homer mark for the second straight season.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles but delivered a big blow in the third inning with a three-run home run. It was his third home run over his past four games. Still, Arozarena only has 15 big flies with a .258/.320/.437 slash line after posting 20 homers and a .274/.356/.459 line a season ago. He's still been great on the basepaths, swiping 21 bags in 108 games. Arozarena will never be the big slugger some thought he would become but could be an annual 20-20 player, and he's giving fantasy managers plenty of value this season as a must-start.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Arozarena is a must-start fantasy player, but he'll need to be moved to fantasy benches on Thursday. The 27-year-old is hitting .259/.316/.430 with 12 home runs, 47 RBI, 43 runs scored and 20 stolen bases in 363 at-bats so far this season. Since the All-Star break, he's gone 8-for-24 (.333) with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in six games. Roman Quinn is starting in left field in his place on Thursday and is hitting sixth against Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles. Quinn will be a low-upside DFS target with his .217/.265/.304 slash line in 46 at-bats for Tampa. He's still searching for his first homer of 2022.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went deep Wednesday, launching his ninth home run of the season. He was 2-for-5 at the plate with the solo shot, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. He is on the brink of reaching double digits in home runs to go with his 18 steals, a combination which gives him plenty of value despite a mediocre .735 OPS. Arozarena has a .930 OPS over his last seven games, leaving some hope a hot stretch is coming.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a normal day of rest for Arozarena, and fantasy managers need to make sure to remove him from their daily lineups. The 27-year-old finished the month of June with a .240/.303/.390 slash line with three home runs, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 26 games. Overall, he's hitting .253/.306/.399 with seven home runs, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 304 plate appearances. Arozarena's power/speed combination remains intriguing in all fantasy leagues. Brett Phillips will get the start in right field and is hitting ninth on Friday against Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. He'll be a low-upside, deep DFS sleeper.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is not in the starting lineup on Sunday in the series finale against the New York Yankees. Arozarena is getting a day of rest despite heating up at the plate of late. The 27-year-old has gone 13-for-32 (.406 average) with two home runs, seven RBI and a stolen base in eight games since May 20 to raise his season line to .259/.305/.408 with four home runs, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases in 187 plate appearances. With Arozarena sitting, Manuel Margot is in left field and is batting fifth, while Brett Phillips gets the nod in right field while hitting seventh against Yankees right-hander Luis Severino. Margot has been hot with the bat this year and should garner some DFS appeal.
