Not starting Monday Arozarena will be on the bench Monday against Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Arozarena missed a pair of games last week while on paternity leave but returned to start both weekend contests in Detroit. He'll get what appears to be a routine off day Monday, with Austin Meadows and Brett Phillips starting in the outfield corners.

Modest production since return Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a run in an extra-innings loss to the Tigers on Sunday.
Impact Arozarena also went 0-for-3 with an RBI from a sacrifice fly Saturday in his return from a two-game stay on the paternity list. The 26-year-old had gone a sizzling 8-for-17 with two doubles, a triple and a home run over the four games prior to his brief absence, so fantasy managers will hope Sunday's modest production can reignite his bat.

Eyeing Saturday return Manager Kevin Cash said he expects Arozarena (personal) to rejoin the team Saturday and potentially return from the paternity list for the Rays' game against the Tigers later that...
Impact Arozarena left the team Wednesday to spend time with his wife and newborn child, and based on Cash's comments, the outfielder looks like he'll spend the full three days on the paternity list. Though he won't be in line for more than two starts to close out the week, Arozarena is on track to rejoin the Rays in time to clear all COVID-19 protocols, which should erase any concern about his availability for the series in Canada with the Blue Jays that begins Monday.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on paternity list Arozarena will be placed on the paternity list Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The 26-year-old will spend at least three days away from the team following the birth of his child. Josh Lowe was recalled from Triple-A Durham to take his place on the active roster, and he should see most of the playing time in right field while Arozarena is away from the team.

Falls double shy of cycle Arozarena went 3-for-4 with a homer, a triple, a single and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.
Impact The electrifying 26-year-old accomplished the first three legs of the cycle in the first three innings of the game on Saturday but couldn't come through with a double to complete the feat. The outburst of production comes as a sigh of relief to fantasy managers, as Arozarena entered play 0-for-9 in his last three games.

Homers Tuesday Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a hit by pitch and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Arozarena got the Rays on the board in the second inning with a laser off the bat that traveled 406 feet over the wall in left field. It was his second home run in his last three games and his fourth straight contest with at least one RBI. The 26-year-old was the talk of the 2020 postseason after breaking out with a .377/.449/.841 slash line, nine homers, three doubles, one triple, 18 runs scored, 12 RBI and eight walks in 18 games. He hasn't exactly carried over that same success in 2021, as he's striking out at a 28.3 percent clip and has also hit the ball on the ground quite a bit. Arozarena is still having a respectable campaign, slashing .274/.352/.461 with 18 homers, 59 RBI, 78 runs scored, 12 steals and a .813 OPS over 494 plate appearances.

Remains productive Sunday Arozarena went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.
Impact Arozarena opened the scoring on a prolific day for offense by driving in Brandon Lowe with a first-inning single, the slugger's fourth RBI over the last three games. Arozarena is in the midst of an interesting 12-game stretch where he's managed to forge a .293 average and .370 on-base percentage despite striking out at a massive 39.1 percent clip. However, he carries a rock-solid .274/.351/.455 slash line for the campaign.

Blasts go-ahead homer Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Impact The 26-year-old lined a Cole Sulser offering the other way in the eighth inning, clearing the right-field scoreboard to give the Rays a 4-3 lead. Arozarena hadn't gone deep since Aug. 3, a stretch of 14 games without a homer, but he's still managed to slash .361/.443/.623 for the month.
