Another productive night in win Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Phillies on Friday.

Impact The young outfielder also struck out three times, a reminder he's still somewhat of a work in progress despite his vast talent. However, Arozarena's latest multi-hit effort -- his second straight and third in his last four starts -- pushed his impressive line to .288/.368/.678 across 68 plate appearances over 21 games. The 25-year-old is also a perfect 4-for-4 on steal attempts, an appealing fantasy complement to his seven home runs.

Swats pair of homers Arozarena went 3-for-5 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Mets.

Impact Arozarena hit a two-run shot off Mets starter Michael Wacha in the sixth inning. In the eighth, Arozarena got aboard with a single and scored on a Willy Adames single. Arozarena went yard again in the ninth with a solo shot. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to six homers, three stolen bases, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored in 20 games this season.

Rays beat Mets 8-5, clinch 1st AL East title in 10 years

Randy Arozarena homered twice and the Tampa Bay Rays clinched their first AL East title in 10 years Wednesday night with an 8-5 victory over the New York Mets

Swipes base as pinch runner Arozarena entered Monday's win over the Mets as a pinch runner and recorded his third stolen base of the season.

Impact Manager Kevin Cash gave Arozarena the night off after four straight starts, but the 25-year-old was still ultimately called upon to provide some speed on the basepaths in the seventh as a pinch runner for Yoshi Tsutsugo. Arozarena has been a contributor at the big-league level over his first 18 games of the campaign, slashing an impressive .267/.370/.622 with five home runs across just 54 plate appearances.

Heads to bench Arozarena is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arozarena sits after starting four straight games. While he was quite hot initially upon joining the Rays in late August, he's stumbled to a .143/.265/.286 line over his last 10 games. Manuel Margot will be the left fielder in his absence.

Provides decisive homer Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Orioles.

Impact Arozarena supplied the decisive hit in the contest, drilling a two-run homer to right field in the fifth inning. The long ball was his fifth of the season but his first since Sept. 7. He came into the contest with only two hits over his previous 22 at-bats.

Sitting Game 1 Arozarena is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rays, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arozarena started five of the past seven games but will take a seat for Thursday's matinee. Austin Meadows shifts to left field while Yoshi Tsutsugo serves as the designated hitter.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Emerging as near-everyday player Arozarena will start in left field and will bat third Wednesday against the Nationals.

Impact He'll be in the lineup for the fifth time in seven games as manager Kevin Cash continues to find ways to get Arozarena's bat in the starting nine. Injuries to Yandy Diaz (hamstring) and Ji-Man Choi (hamstring) have resulted in Brandon Lowe getting more in the infield of late, opening up more reps in the outfield for Arozarena and Manuel Margot. With a .310/.394/.724 slash line in his 11 games since being activated from the COVID-19 injured list, Arozarena should continue to receive steady work until he cools down at the dish.
