EDGE Analysis

Aranda was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old was just optioned Tuesday but is already back on the roster with Yandy Diaz going on paternity leave. Aranda could get a start or two at first base while Diaz is away. He is 1-for-8 at the plate during his brief time in the majors this season and has a 1.044 OPS this year at Durham.

EDGE Analysis

He was up with the Rays for two days while Josh Lowe was on the family medical emergency list, but he'll now head back to Durham with Lowe back in the fold. Aranda has crushed Triple-A pitching again this season, but it hasn't led to much of an opportunity in the majors.

Aranda was recalled by the Rays on Saturday and will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda was recalled to take the place of Josh Lowe, who landed on the bereavement list. Aranda struggled to a .192/.276/.321 line in his 32-game debut last year but has hit .342/.455/.589 with 16 homers in 71 games for Triple-A Durham this season.

The Rays optioned Aranda to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Opening Day right around the corner Thursday, Aranda is one of the final major-league roster cut-downs for the Rays this spring. The 24-year-old batted .192 with one homer, five RBI and two runs scored over 26 at-bats during spring training, failing to impress enough to crack the big-league roster. Considering his positional flexibility and his prior experience in the MLB from last season, Aranda seems like a top candidate to earn a call-up early this year.

Aranda has three extra-base hits and three walks across 17 plate appearances in Grapefruit League action.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda is in competition for a bench spot on the Rays' Opening Day roster, and he's made the case with his performance this spring. In addition to a .924 OPS, he's struck out only four times. Aranda struggled in limited playing time during his MLB debut in 2022, posting a .192/.276/.321 line across 87 plate appearances.

Aranda is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Guardians, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda will sit in favor of Taylor Walls for the second game in a row. While Aranda has a strong track record as a hitter in the minors, his defense is below average, so he needs to be hitting to justify getting at-bats. He is slashing .100/.273/.259 over the last 10 games.

Aranda is not in Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda has been playing regularly over the last week, hitting .125 with a .276 OBP and one home run in 24 at-bats over that stretch. Taylor Walls is starting at second base and hitting ninth.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-5 victory over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda sparked the Rays offense with a leadoff home run off Jose Berrios in the first inning and came around to score again in the second on a Wander Franco single. The third-baseman reached base three times in the contest, scoring a run on each occasion. It was a nice game for Aranda, who was held hitless in the previous three-game series against the Astros. The promising rookie is hitting a solid .278 with two homers and six RBI through 22 games this season, while also drawing six walks.

Aranda is not in Friday's lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Aranda's strong hit tool has translated well in the majors, but his defensive shortcomings have also been apparent. He is hitting .316/.409/.579 with one home run, five strikeouts and three walks in 19 at-bats this month. Taylor Walls is starting at second base while Christian Bethancourt starts at first base.
