Diaz started at third base and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Twins.
The start was Diaz's third straight, following a start at first base and his first-career start in left field. Manager AJ Hinch has had difficulty trying to find him regular at-bats, so this may be a concerted effort to get Diaz's bat going. The 28-year-old utility player has hit groundballs on 53.7 percent of his batted balls, 13 points higher than his rate as a regular with the Blue Jays last season and nearly 10 points higher than his career rate. Unless Houston has to deal with a starter's injury, Diaz will need to be content playing 2-to-3 times per week.
