Diaz is dealing with a minor hip issue but is available off the bench Thursday against the Twins and expects to return to the lineup Friday versus the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The hip issue explains why Diaz is out of the lineup Thursday for the second day in a row. The positive news is it doesn't appear to be a long-term concern. Tampa Bay is rolling with Luke Raley at first base Thursday.
