Cubs vs. Rays: Bettors backing Tampa Bay again

Hoerner dealing with injury

Nico Hoerner (hand) made an appearance as a defensive replacement during Tuesday’s loss to the Rays. Hoerner appears likely to avoid a trip to the injured list as he attempts to play through a small fracture in his right hand. The 27-year-old second baseman was held out of the lineup on Tuesday for the fourth straight contest, but was able to come off the bench as a defensive replacement in the late innings. The biggest question for fantasy managers is whether the lingering hand issue will impact his offensive performance moving forward, even if he doesn’t wind up requiring a lengthy absence.

Arozarena available despite injury

Randy Arozarena (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter during Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs. It’s an extremely encouraging sign that Arozarena was available to pinch-hit after being scratched from Tuesday’s lineup with right hamstring tightness. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has shown some real signs of life recently, so the hope here is that he’ll be ready to return to Tampa Bay’s lineup shortly. It doesn’t appear that he’s dealing with a serious ailment and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day moving forward.
