The Tampa Bay Rays placed All-Star first baseman Jonathan Aranda on the 10-day injured list on Friday after a collision in Thursday’s game resulted in a fractured left wrist.

Aranda left the game after a fifth-inning collision with New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a soft ground ball to third base. Junior Caminero rushed the throw, an attempt that was off the mark and forced Aranda to reach across Stanton’s body near first base.

After his glove collided with the 245-pound Stanton, Aranda dropped the ball and mitt as he clung to his wrist.

Aranda had a hit and an RBI in what ultimately was a 7-4 road loss for the Rays.

Through an interpreter, Aranda said he needs to rest for three weeks, but he remains optimistic he will make his way back to the field with Tampa Bay fighting for a playoff spot.

“I have hope of returning, but it was scary,” Aranda said. “It was very painful. I have never had that feeling before.”

A first-time All-Star, Aranda leads the Rays with a .316 batting average to go along with 12 home runs and 54 RBIs. Tampa entered Friday four games out of the final AL Wild Card spot.

“I think it’s pretty good news, given what we saw yesterday,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “Let’s see how the bone heals. I think we’ll do re-imaging in about three weeks … and hope.”
