Aledmys Diaz (arm) back in Cardinals' lineup Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Aledmys Diaz is back in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Diaz was on the shelf six weeks with a fractured right thumb and is still working on building the strength back up in his throwing arm, so Jedd Gyorko filled in for him at short on Tuesday.

Diaz owns a .303/.386/.516 slash and impressive .884 OPS during his first year in the majors. He's combined that with 16 home runs and 61 RBI's across 426 plate appearances.
