Astros' Aledmys Diaz sitting Monday versus Rangers

The Houston Astros did not include Aledmys Diaz in their lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Diaz will take the afternoon off while Yordan Alvarez takes a turn at designated hitter and Jose Siri gets a start in left field and bats eighth.

Our models project Diaz for 40 more plate appearances this season, with 2 home runs, 5 runs, 5 RBI, and a .243 batting average.
