Sat Mar 1623:21Randy Arozarena Blasts Two Home Runs On Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-2 with two home runs in Saturday's 6-5 spring loss to the Minnesota Twins. Arozarena took Pablo Lopez deep in the first and fourth innings of Saturday's loss. The 29-year-old is looking to produce his fourth straight 20/20 season in 2024. He slashed 254/.364/.425 with 23 home runs, 83 RBI, 95 runs, and 22 stolen bases over 151 games last year. Arozarena has had a modest spring, hitting .200 with three home runs and five RBI over 10 games this spring. With an NFBC ADP of 43, Arozarena should hit 20 homers, steal 20 bags, and score close to 100 runs in 2024, making him a solid pick at his current ADP heading into 2024 fantasy drafts.

Wed Mar 1307:23Randy Arozarena Hits First Homer Of Spring
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and walk in Tuesday's Grapefruit League matchup versus the Baltimore Orioles. It would be the outfielder's first homer of the spring. The 29-year-old has been ice-cold this spring, hitting .100 with a homer and three RBI in 20 at-bats, but fantasy managers should have little to no concern with him heading into the regular season. Arozarena is coming off of a well-rounded 2023 campaign with 23 homers, 83 RBI, 22 stolen bases and a .254 batting average. He remains a valuable No. 1 outfielder in most fantasy formats going into Opening Day.

Thu Jan 1113:32Randy Arozarena Avoids Arbitration
Outfielder Randy Arozarena and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by settling at $8.1 million for the 2024 season, according to a source. Arozarena put up his third straight 20-20 season in 2023, but it also came with a career-low .25 batting average. The 28-year-old also displayed better plate discipline, though, and it led to a career-high in runs scored with 95 to go along with 23 home runs, 83 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 551 at-bats over 151 games played in his fourth year with the Rays. Perhaps participating in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break screwed his swing up in the second half, as he was much more productive in the first half of last season. Arozarena will once again be an early round target for his power/speed combination in fantasy drafts this spring.

Tue Dec 5 202300:40Rays Simply "Listening" To Trade Talk For Randy Arozarena, Isaac Paredes
Tampa Bay Rays baseball operations president Erik Neander said Monday, "I would very much classify anything as listening," referring to trade talks related to key players other than starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow. This includes outfielder Randy Arozarena and infielder Isaac Paredes, whose names have popped up in trade rumors this offseason. While Glasnow is due a team-record $25 million salary in 2024, Arozarena and Paredes will be more cost-friendly and played pivotal roles for the Rays in 2023. Both will likely continue to play key roles for the team in 2024 should they stay.

Wed Nov 29 202315:05Randy Arozarena Being Shopped By Rays
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is reportedly being shopped by the club and there's a good chance he will indeed be moved. The 28-year-old still has three seasons of club control attached to him and he is arbitration-eligible for the first time this offseason. Certainly, the Rays would get a haul for the star outfielder given his friendly contract status and massive production at the plate. He hit .254 with 23 home runs and 22 stolen bases across 151 games in 2023, his third straight 20-HR, 20-SB campaign. For his career, Arozarena has hit .264 with 71 homers and 80 stolen bases across 487 games played. He has been remarkably consistent since bursting onto the scene with the Rays in the shortened 2020 campaign.

Wed Sep 27 202316:24Randy Arozarena Back In Rays Lineup
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quadriceps) is back in left field and is batting third in the order for Tampa on Wednesday against right-hander Bryan Bello and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Arozarena missed the last three games with right-quadriceps tightness, but he'll return for fantasy managers to close out the last week of the 2023 regular season. You'll want to return the 28-year-old to your starting lineups immediately. Arozarena made his first All-Star team this year and enters Wednesday's contest hitting .255/.363/.427 with a career-high 23 home runs, 18 doubles, three triples, 83 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 92 runs scored in 148 games. He's struggled in September, though, going 17-for-78 (.218) with only two homers, four doubles, a triple, seven RBI, 25 strikeouts, two steals and seven runs scored in 20 starts.

Tue Sep 26 202317:05Randy Arozarena Out For Rays On Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quadriceps) is out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Arozarena will miss his third straight game with right-quadriceps tightness. It's bad news for fantasy managers that were counting on him to help them out in the final week of the regular season, but hopefully he'll be able to return on Wednesday. The Rays have another off day coming on Thursday, so at the very least, the 28-year-old should be back in action this weekend to close things out in the regular season against the Toronto Blue Jays. Raimel Tapia is in left field on Tuesday and is hitting in the seven-hole against Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck.

Sat Sep 23 202314:02Randy Arozarena Is Not In The Lineup On Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quad) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old left Friday's contest early with some right quad tightness, so he'll get a day off on Saturday to get right. His status for Sunday's series finale is up in the air but he should be considered day-to-day for now. Harold Ramirez will take over in left field and bat second in Arozarena's place against Hyun Jin Ryu and the Jays.

Fri Sep 22 202321:18Randy Arozarena Leaves With Right Quad Tightness
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena was removed early from Friday night's game due to right quad tightness. Arozarena could be seen pulling up lame after rounding third on his way to score. The 28-year-old has been in a slump over his last 15 games with two home runs and 20 strikeouts over 57 at-bats. Leg injuries can be tricky and it's not known how serious it is right now so make sure to check back once the Rays have more information, if additional testing is needed.

Sat Aug 5 202318:22Randy Arozarena Continues To Struggle
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in a 4-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. The 28-year-old All-Star is mired in a bad slump at the moment, going just 2-for-23 over his last seven games and slashing a brutal .155/.242/.291 over the last 30 contests (110 at-bats). He does have four home runs and three stolen bases over that 30-game stretch but his current production is a far cry from what it was over the first three months of the season. Arozarena's season stats still look decent, which shows you how incredible he was in April-June, but the recent halt in production likely has fantasy managers concerned. Overall, he's slashing .252/.360/.430 with 18 home runs. 64 RBI, and 12 stolen bases over 384 at-bats. He's just two home runs from matching a career best, which he set back in 2021 and 2022. He's still got some time to turn things around and is an interesting buy-low candidate if your fantasy trade deadline hasn't passed yet.

Wed Jul 26 202316:48Randy Arozarena Hitless For Third Straight Game
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 0-for-4 at the plate Wednesday and he is now hitless in three consecutive contests. Since June 25th, the 28-year-old carries a .165 batting average. In 361 at-bats this season, Arozarena is slashing .263/.365/.808 with 17 home runs and 62 RBI. Tampa Bay needs Arozarena to get back on track, as teammate Wander Franco is also struggling in the batter's box with only three hits in his last 26 trips to the plate.

Thu Jul 20 202314:57Randy Arozarena Re-Enters Starting Lineup Thursday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (back, knee) is back in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Arozarena didn't start Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Texas Rangers but went 0-for-2 with a strikeout while leaving two men on base in a pair of pinch-hitting plate appearances. Despite the unsuccessful night on Wednesday, it's been a huge season for the 28-year-old who is hitting .276 with 17 home runs, 10 stolen bases, and an .849 OPS across an even 400 plate appearances on the campaign. He will take his usual spot in left field and hit cleanup Thursday night in Tampa Bay.

Wed Jul 19 202318:22Randy Arozarena Dealing With Some Soreness
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.

Wed Jul 19 202312:30Wander Franco, Randy Arozarena Out Against Rangers
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.

Tue Jul 18 202323:02Randy Arozarena Homers, Rays Looks To Turn Things Around
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.

Sat Jul 1 202316:57Randy Arozarena To Participate In Home Run Derby
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.

Thu Jun 29 202315:27Randy Arozarena Out On Thursday
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.

Sat Jun 17 202309:53Randy Arozarena Lifts Rays With 13th Homer
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.

Mon Jun 5 202316:51Randy Arozarena Gets Rare Day Off
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.

Mon Jun 5 202314:25Wander Franco Returns, Randy Arozarena Resting 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.
