Aranda went 3-for-4 with a run scored Tuesday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Aranda began the season in a strict platoon while sitting against lefties. However, Tuesday's start against Kris Bubic marked the fourth time in his last five games that he's been in the lineup against a southpaw. Aranda also managed to extend his hitting streak to nine games, and he's gone 15-for-35 with four RBI and six runs scored in that span. Aranda has only one home run across his last 25 games, but he's a good source of batting average, runs and RBI.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Aranda has been hitting well over the last two weeks, with Friday's effort marking his sixth multi-hit performance in 12 games. He has only four extra-base hits in that span, but he has still managed 12 runs scored with 10 RBI. For the season, Aranda has maintained an excellent .324 batting average but still rarely starts against left-handed pitchers.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-2 victory against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Aranda ended what had been a scoreless tie with his three-run shot off reliever Brock Stewart in the sixth inning. The long ball gave the first baseman seven on the campaign, establishing a new career-high mark. Not coincidentally, Aranda has also already played in an MLB career-high 48 games, as he's managed to stay healthy while establishing a stranglehold on first-base duties for Tampa Bay. He's been able to earn a spot in the heart of the Rays' lineup with a .302/.381/.491 slash line on the campaign.

Aranda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
After starting in each of the Rays' last eight games, the left-handed-hitting Aranda will take a seat while Tampa Bay faces a lefty starter (Colton Gordon) for the first time since May 9. Curtis Mead will step in at first base in place of Aranda, who owns an excellent .312/.396/.507 slash line on the season but has been far more effective against right-handed pitching (178 wRC+) than lefties (102 wRC+).
