Yandy Diaz reached 500 career runs on May 29, 2026, becoming the latest Tampa Bay Rays player to achieve the milestone. The veteran infielder accomplished the feat in his 10th major league season, marking a significant checkpoint in his sustained offensive production.
Diaz began his MLB journey with Cleveland, appearing in 49 games in 2017 and 39 games in 2018. He joined the Rays in 2019 and has remained with the organization since, appearing in 79, 34, 134, 137, 136, 145, and 150 games respectively from 2019 through 2025.
Across his MLB career as a whole, Diaz has appeared in 954 games with a .292 batting average, 1,018 hits, and 110 home runs alongside his 500 runs — figures that span both organizations.
With 460 career RBI, Diaz could reach 500 career RBI this season, needing just 40 more to cross that threshold. The dual milestone pursuit would represent another significant achievement for the consistent performer.
