"Rays first baseman bounced a double over the wall in the ninth inning against the Red Sox on Thursday. It was the 1,000th hit of the 34-year-old's career. Diaz became the 20th Cuban-born player to reach the milestone. " Thank God that I was able to get here," Diaz told reporters, including Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, through an interpreter. " I really didn't think I was going to get to this point. So just to be in that list of guys, and obviously the Cuban names as well, is such a great honor.""
"Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo is set to start on Friday against the Astros. The 28-year-old opened the season on the injured list due to a blister. Finger-related injuries have been a persistent problem for Lodolo. He missed time in 2024 with a blister. He had two stints on the IL last season, first for a blister, then for a finger sprain. Lodolo was excellent in three rehab outings, posting a 1.50 ERA with a 38.6% strikeout rate."
