Fantasy Impact:

Peralta remains several weeks away from a return. His replacement, Aledmys Diaz, has only come in to produce the highest batting average in the majors. As a result, and considering Diaz's age and fielding prowess, the team is expected to work both bats into the lineup when Peralta returns. This could impact the value of both players, so owners will want to monitor as Peralta's return approaches.
