Aledmys Diaz

Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz got the nod at 1B Thursday, and posted a solid game going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz got the start in place of white hot Yuli Gurriel, but his production made the move look genius as Gurriel got a bit of rest. Diaz can play all over the infield, but he just doesn't get enough at-bats to warrant fantasy attention.
