Aledmys Díaz - Page 12 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Suffers leg injury Diaz felt a strain in his leg during Friday's win against the Mariners, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Impact Diaz went 1-for-2 with a run in Friday's win, but he was replaced late in the game by Abraham Toro. Manager Dusty Baker revealed after the game that Diaz is being examined Friday night for a leg strain that he felt during the game. Whether the issue impacts the 29-year-old's availability going forward remains to be seen.

Weeks away from game action Alvarez (undisclosed) isn't close to being ready for game action, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alvarez missed the entirety of camp for undisclosed reasons and was only just cleared to join his teammates for workouts Friday. He was reportedly unable to do any baseball activities while away from the team, so he needs to undergo a full preseason buildup process before appearing in a game. In theory, serving as a designated hitter could shorten that process somewhat, but it nevertheless sounds as though it will be a matter of weeks, not days, until Alvarez is back on the field. Aledmys Diaz will serve as the designated hitter in his absence on Opening Day, though Kyle Tucker could also spend time in the role against righties.

Sitting for season opener Tucker is not in the lineup for Friday's Opening Day game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Just how often Tucker starts this year remains an open question, though it's no big surprise to see him on the bench Friday against southpaw Marco Gonzales. The Astros will start a pair of veteran left-handed bats in the outfield corners (Michael Brantley and Josh Reddick), but it will be the right-handed Aledmys Diaz who serves as the designated hitter.

No status update General manager James Click said Thursday there is no update on Alvarez's status, other than that the team is doing everything it can to get him back on the field as soon as possib...

Impact Suffice to say, that Alvarez will not be in the Opening Day lineup and can be considered out indefinitely. He has been unable to report to camp for undisclosed reasons. Kyle Tucker and Aledmys Diaz are expected to get starts at designated hitter early in the season.

Could start against lefties Diaz could be the Astros' primary designated hitter against lefties at the start of the season, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The spot was expected to belong to Yordan Alvarez, but he's still yet to arrive at camp for undisclosed reasons and has been placed on the injured list. That could open up starts for Kyle Tucker against righties, either as a designated hitter or in left field, giving veteran Michael Brantley the chance to rest his legs. As a right-handed hitter, Diaz makes more sense for the role against southpaws, though it's worth noting that he has some pretty significant reverse splits over the course of his four-year career, posting an 89 wRC+ with the platoon advantage and a 117 wRC+ without it. The Astros will reveal their plans for the job on Opening Day, as they'll face lefty Marco Gonzales.
