Rays slugger Yandy Díaz to miss series at Toronto because of passport renewal issue
- Before their May 13, 2025, game in Toronto, the Tampa Bay team assigned designated hitter Yandy Díaz to the restricted list due to complications with renewing his passport.
- This roster move arose because Díaz could not participate in the Toronto series while waiting for his passport renewal to complete.
- To fill Díaz's roster vacancy, the Rays brought up Coco Montes from Triple-A Durham; Díaz, who has appeared in 40 games this season with a batting average of.238 along with six home runs and 20 RBIs, is unlikely to participate in the upcoming three-game series.
- Rays manager Kevin Cash noted that Díaz will not participate in the upcoming three-game series and expressed his disappointment, emphasizing that Díaz is an important contributor to the team's lineup and offense.
- Díaz is expected to rejoin the Rays for their upcoming home series against Detroit starting Friday, indicating a short-term absence tied to passport issues.
