David Peralta (paternity) returns to Diamondbacks' lineup Thursday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta has been activated from the paternity leave list.
Peralta missed the past three games while tending to the birth of his daughter. He will lead off the order versus right-hander Mike Fiers and the Houston Astros while drawing the start in right field for Arizona. Gregor Blanco will be available off the bench after leading off on Wednesday.
This matchup sets up to be relatively batter-friendly affair (9.5 over/under, 1.015 park factor), so the Astros offer some upside for fantasy purposes. numberFire's models project Peralta to score 13.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,600 on Thursday.
