“That’s Not Normal”: Bizarre Dehydration Issue For Tampa Bay Rays Star Baffles the MLB World

Yandy Diaz is one of the most powerful players on the Tampa Bay Rays, as is witnessed by his progress this season. With a strong physique to rival a wrestler, the first baseman has previously had some trouble with hitting. Where one would expect his home run numbers to give Aaron Judge a hard time, it has not been the case. In fact, in 2022, Diaz only hit nine homers, which disappointed a lot of fans. But 2023 already seems to be going much better.

This season, the Cuban player is on a good trajectory, almost halfway through catching up on his all-time best i.e. 14 home runs in 2019. However, before he can do that, Diaz may need to catch up on taking care of his health.

Tampa Bay Rays’ Yandy Diaz is led off the field due to chest tightness

At the top of the eighth inning, Diaz headed up to the plate to get warmed up. But suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest as his heart rate went up. Realizing it couldn’t be anything good, he indicated that he couldn’t play. After getting escorted off the field with some help, the Rays first baseman clutched the railing of the dugout as dizziness overcame him. The culprit? Dehydration!

As it turns out, one of the most major issues that all millennials and Gen Z alike also affects baseball players. ?I was a little worried just because I?ve never really felt any kind of pain like that before,? Diaz said through interpreter Manny Navarro.

Once he was removed from the game, medical professionals helped him. Apparently, he had not shown any previous symptoms before. FOX News later reported that Diaz would be re-evaluated on Sunday and the team will act accordingly.

What did fans have to say about this bizarre but scary situation?

Chest tightness is certainly no joking matter. When the cause of the issue behind Diaz leaving the game was announced, concerned fans gave their support.

Some wondered whether the dugout held water provisions or not.

One fan made a joke about Rays, that is the deadly fish variety, needing water to survive! What an ironic situation.

While some tried to make light of the situation, it must have been a frightening time for the first baseman. Most fans send him their best wishes!
