Diaz went 2-for-2 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in Wednesday's 9-3 Grapefruit League victory over the Nationals.

Diaz boosted his explosive spring stat line to .474/.450/.579 with the effort, with the pair of doubles representing his first extra-base hits of spring. The Cardinals' everyday shortstop heading into the regular season, Diaz will be a coveted fantasy asset in all formats, although it remains to be seen if the 17 home runs he blasted in 2016 were an outlier; prior to last season, Diaz had not posted more than 10 round-trippers in any of his five minor league stops.
