Diaz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Padres.

Diaz exceeded expectations to begin the year by slashing .385/.429/.744 out of the gate while presumptive starter Ruben Tejada rehabbed from a quad injury. However, with Tejada back in the fold, Diaz's playing time and thus his fantasy value will probably decline given that the Cardinals sought out Tejada in free agency. Once the situation becomes settled over the next week or two, Diaz's role with the team moving forward should become more clear.
