Saturday, in a 7-7 tie with the Yankees, he looked more like the hitter the Rays are expecting to play a key part in their lineup. In the fifth inning, Aranda followed Eloy Jimenez's run-scoring single with an RBI double that got the Rays into a 4-4 tie. In the ninth, Aranda stayed patient and drew a one-out walk that led eventually to a tying, two-run single by Tres Barrera. Source: https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2025/03/15/jo...

3/23/24	Tampa Bay Rays Have Long Valued Versatility, Which Is Needed As Injury Bug Bites. Jonathan Aranda was recalled from Triple-A Durham three times during the 2022 season and again in 2023. In bits and pieces adding up to 66 games across the two seasons with the Rays, he hit all of .212 with a .656 OPS in 165 at-bats. Despite Aranda's struggles against big league pitching, albeit in small sample sizes, the Rays' belief in the infielder has not wavered. With his ability to play multiple infield positions as well as serve as a DH, the thinking was Aranda would not only stick with the big club out of spring training, but be a valued contributor in the lineup.
