Alex Avila keeps on hitting

Alex Avila finished 1-for-3 in Detroit's 5-2 loss to Texas.

Fantasy Impact:

Avila had a pretty wild April slashing .405/.511/.784 with four home runs and nine RBIs in 15 games... and is having another scalding month in May with a .353/.476/.588 line, a home run and nine RBIs in 11 games. Because Avila is in a true platoon with masher Brian McCann behind the plate, he is putting up top 5 catcher production in considerably less at-bats. As a result, they've been finding starts for him at first base as often as they're starting him at catcher in order to keep his hot bat in the lineup.
