Matt Duffy Expects To Be Out Until Mid-May
6 years agoTampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring, back) says that he expects to be out until around mid-May. Duffy hasn’t been on fantasy radars, however, this gives Yandy Diaz the chance to get everyday at-bats in the heart of the Rays lineup. Diaz has gone 4-for-11 with one monster home run and one walk to start the season. He’ll man first base on Sunday and bat leadoff against Wade Miley and the Houston Astros. This news and opportunity should put Diaz on the map for fantasy managers. In 39 games with the Indians in 2018, Diaz slashed .312/.375/.422 with one homer. He is an intriguing under-the-radar add at either corner infield spot, as he has both first and third base eligibility in Yahoo leagues.
