Rays' Jonathan Aranda collides with Giancarlo Stanton and exits game
New York Yankees slugger Stanton hit a soft grounder in the fifth inning to Junior Caminero, who charged in on wet grass to make a throw. As Aranda fielded it, his left wrist appeared to collide with Stanton's left shoulder.
Aranda fell to the ground and shook his head while on his back. He was attended to by a trainer and manager Kevin Cash before walking off the field. Brandon Lowe moved over from second base to replace him.
Aranda is hitting .316 with 12 homers and 54 RBIs in 103 games this season. He hit an RBI single in Tampa Bay's four-run fourth off Marcus Stroman.
Aranda suffered the third injury of the day for the Rays, who entered 8-20 in their last 28 games.
Designated hitter Yandy Díaz was hit by a pitch in the first inning and exited with a bruised right forearm. He was replaced by Christopher Morel for his at-bat in the fourth.
Díaz is hitting .283 with 18 homers and 62 RBIs in 105 games this season and has primarily been a designated hitter this season.
The Rays also lost rookie outfielder Chandler Simpson to an undisclosed injury in the third. Simpson was playing left field and replaced by Jake Mangum after getting his left hand checked out.
Simpson is hitting .297 with 32 stolen bases in 65 games this season.

Sporting heroes, shared memories: The power of nostalgia in sport
When the public celebration of RCB's victory began, and before disaster struck, I remembered an occasion when I was among those who had lined up to cheer an Indian champion. This was when Prakash Padukone returned with the All-England badminton trophy A couple of us students stood outside a newspaper office on Bengaluru's M. G. Road, hoping that a photographer's camera might accidentally get our faces into next day's papers. We would have gone anyway, we worshipped Prakash. Sport, like music, is memory's favourite accomplice. But it has a built-in obsolescence. Players retire. Stadiums change names. The game you grew up with gets new rules, new formats, new millionaires. And yet, something endures. Nostalgia. My earliest memory of cricket is listening to radio commentary with my parents. I remember the commentator, V. M. Chakrapani, whom I met years later as a journalist. We didn't watch the matches, we listened to them. There is something deeply democratic about nostalgia in sport. The 1983 World Cup belongs as much to a retired bank clerk in India as it does to Kapil Dev. Just as a young boy hitting 'sixes' over the neighbour's wall can still vibrate with the imagined possibility that he could have been India's answer to Clive Lloyd. Nostalgia makes champions of us all. The goal scored in a school match was as vital, in the mind, as Maradona's in 1986. And yet nostalgia can deceive. It makes us believe the past was pure, untouched by greed or error. That every contest was noble, every rivalry gentlemanly. It allows us to forgive our heroes, and forget their flaws. We speak of P. T. Usha's near-miss in 1984 as if she were a mythological figure whose tragedy ennobled a nation. Which, in a sense, she was — and did. There is a shared rhythm. Nostalgia calls for a recaller and a listener (or reader) — you have to interact with someone. The danger, of course, is that it can freeze you. You say things like 'No one came close to _ ' (fill in the blank with any name from Hazare, Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dravid, or as future nostalgists might say, 'Gill, Pant…..' Every generation believes its glories are unmatched. Even unmatchable. Often more fights break out over the skill of past champions than current ones. But nostalgia need not be a wall against the present. It is a bridge. It reminds us why we fell in love with sport in the first place. Not for the spreadsheets and strike-rates, but for the sense that anything was possible. That a boy from a small town could become Kapil Dev. That a girl running barefoot on a dusty field could become Mary Kom. Nostalgia connects us to younger versions of ourselves. The boy who believed that form was temporary and class permanent. That defeat was never the end of a story. That tomorrow is another day. As the years rolled by, Prakash became a friend, and the newspaper office I stood outside offered me my first job.

NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Predicted to Part Ways with $54 Million Superstar to Improve Squad Around Luka and LeBron
Luka Doncic and LeBron James (Image via Joe Murphy/ Getty Images) As Luka Doncic gears up for his first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers , the franchise appears poised to make bold decisions in pursuit of an 18th NBA title. One of those decisions could involve parting ways with rising star Austin Reaves. Luka Doncic's Growing Influence in LA The 26-year-old Doncic has quickly become the centerpiece of the Lakers' future, and his influence was evident in the team's major offseason moves. His presence played a key role in landing both Marcus Smart and Deandre Ayton - two players expected to play significant roles in the 2025–26 campaign. Now, with a win-now mindset guiding the franchise, the Lakers are evaluating every asset on their roster. That includes 26-year-old Austin Reaves, who, despite deliveringhis best season yet, may not fit seamlessly alongside Doncic in the long run. The Case for Trading Austin Reaves Reaves averaged a career-high in nearly every major statistical category last season, emerging as a fringe All-Star. Austin Reaves 2024–25 Regular Season Stats Austin Reaves (Image via Getty) Category Stat Points 20.2 PPG Assists 5.8 APG Rebounds 4.5 RPG 3-Point Percentage 37.7% 3PA per game 7.3 Games Played 73 However, his evolution into a ball-dominant tertiary option has occasionally taken possessions away from Doncic - an issue that could grow as the team solidifies its identity around the Slovenian star. Maxwell Ogden of FanSided argued that Reaves' development may soon become a luxury the Lakers can no longer afford: 'If Reaves can't take the next step and justify the nine-figure contract he's likely to sign in 2026, then the Lakers need to trade him by the February deadline,' Ogden wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Victoria Principal Is Almost 75, See Her Now Reportingly Undo 'It's unfair on some levels, but Doncic is looking to win now, and Reaves is their most tradable asset.' Why Reaves Could Be on the Block Despite being undrafted, Reaves has elevated his game to the verge of All-Star status. Yet, his skill set - while impressive - is starting to overlap with Doncic's responsibilities as the primary initiator. Factors Supporting a Potential Trade • Redundant Play Styles: Both Reaves and Doncic operate best with the ball in their hands. • Future Contract Concerns: Reaves is expected to command a nine-figure extension by 2026. • Roster Flexibility: Trading Reaves could help the Lakers acquire a better stylistic fit or multiple rotational pieces. • Doncic's Timeline: Every move now hinges on delivering a title while Doncic is in his prime. Ogden emphasized that Reaves' value might be the key to fulfilling Doncic's expectations: 'Reaves is the player and contract who will ultimately decide if the Lakers can honor Doncic's request to win now.' Reaves may have more room to blossom as a lead guard elsewhere, potentially even earning an All-Star nod on a team built around him. For the Lakers, though, the priority is clear: build the best possible supporting cast around Doncic. And that might mean making tough calls - even if it involves letting go of a fan favorite and breakout performer.
