Aledmys Diaz idle Friday for Astros
Houston Astros infielder/outfielder Aledmys Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Hunter Gaddis and the Cleveland Guardians.
What It Means:
Yordan Alvarez will play left field in place of Diaz while Trey Mancini starts at designated hitter and bats fifth.
Mancini has a $2,700 salary on Friday and numberFire’s models project him for 9.7 FanDuel points. Alvarez has a $4,400 salary and is our highest-projected hitter at 16.9 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros’ implied total (4.95) is third-highest on Friday's Main slate.
