MLB 2024 | Yandy records three hits; Yariel's performance falls short; Arozarena steals one base; Yordan returns with a multi-hit game

Cuban Players News for the 2024 Major League Baseball season. A compilation of several sources

 

Yandy Díaz went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Friday against the Guardians.


Yandy Díaz went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over the Guardians. Yandy singled in the third inning and drove in a run on his 20th double of the year in the fifth. He later added a single in the seventh and has logged multiple hits in three of his past six games. On the year, the 32-year-old is hitting .276 with eight home runs, 45 RBI and 35 runs scored over 408 plate appearances.




 

Yariel Rodríguez gave up two runs in four innings with seven strikeouts against the Diamondbacks on Friday.


Yariel Rodriguez, 27, gave up four hits, and also walked three while throwing 47-of-82 pitches for strikes. The right-hander certainly had his bat-missing arsenal going, but the swing-and-misses and the free passes kept him from going deep into the contest. A promising — if slightly disappointing — result. Yariel failed to complete six innings for the first time in his three July starts. He was a bit inefficient, but the Blue Jays' offense was able to get him off the hook for the loss. Rodriguez has a 3.78 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB over 33.1 innings through his first eight big-league starts. That walk rate is likely to remain an issue, though there's obvious upside with his strikeouts, and he's only given up three home runs so far. He’ll likely make his next start shortly after the All-Star break.



 

Randy Arozarena swipes bag in win.


Randy Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 2-0 win over the Guardians. Arozarena has been solid in July, logging hits in nine of 10 games with a homer and three steals. On the season, the outfielder is hitting a disappointing .204 but has contributed 12 home runs and 13 stolen bases over 371 plate appearances.


 

Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-4 and drove in the White Sox’ lone run in Friday night’s loss to the Pirates.


The 26-year-old outfielder actually opened the scoring in the ballgame with a two-out RBI single off of Marco Gonzales in the third inning. That would wind up being the extent of the White Sox’ offensive attack — and Robert’s only hit in the ballgame. On the season, he’s now slashing .221/.294/.487 with 11 homers, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases.


 

Yordan Alvarez returned to the Astros’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Rangers.


The 27-year-old slugger was pulled from Wednesday’s game due to tightness in his right hip and sat out Thursday’s ballgame as a precautionary measure. He’s feeling much better on Friday he returned to the Astros’ lineup as their designated hitter. He went 2-for-3 with a RBI and a walk in a 6-3 victory against the Rangers. Yordan has gone 4-for-16 with four walks and five strikeouts over his past six games, though that mini slump was preceded by a six-game stretch in which he went 11-for-22 with four doubles and three homers.




 

Once again, Lourdes Gurriel was be on the bench on Friday.


Lourdes Gurriel wasn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Friday's game versus Toronto. General soreness caused Gurriel to sit down Thursday's game, and it seems he needed another day of rest in order to fully recover.
