Breakdown Yandy Diaz

    Overview

  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: 1B DH . However, he plays 1B most often.

  • The current leader among 1B's is Matt Olson
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
