Aledmys Diaz Should Play Saturday
4 years agoHouston Astros manager Dusty Baker said that infielder Aledmys Diaz (neck) should play in the team's intrasquad game on Saturday and will travel to Kansas City. Baker wants to give Diaz as many at-bats as he can before the start of the regular season. As long as Diaz doesn't suffer any sort of setback, he has a chance of being ready for the start of the regular season. The 29-year-old was a useful utility infielder for Houston in 2019, hitting .271 with an .823 OPS in 69 games. But unless an injury opens up regular playing time for him on the infield, Diaz is best left to be a utility infielder for AL-only managers.
