ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Randy Arozarena was scratched for Tuesday night's game against the Chicago Cubs because of right hamstring tightness.
Arozarena was replaced by Jonny DeLuca.
The 29-year-old Arozarena, an AL All-Star last year, is hitting .175 with eight homers and 20 RBIs this season. It's the lowest average among MLB qualified batters.
Arozarena has shown some signs recently of getting out of his season-long slump, going 8 for 26 (.308) in eight games this month.
He hit .254 with 23 homers, 88 RBIs and 22 steals last year.
