Diaz has first multi-hit game: Receiving just his eighth start of the season Saturday against the Rockies, Braves outfielder Matt Diaz had arguably his best game of the year, picking up his first multi-hit game and second home run. Diaz went 3 for 4 in the game, going back to back with Jayson Heyward for sixth inning home runs, while driving in a run and scoring two in the Braves 12-9 win. (Updated 05/06/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Diaz entered the game hitting .250, and he raised his batting average to .300 with one solid game. That goes to show how little he has been used. He is a solid bench bat for the Braves against left-handed pitching, however he is exposed with more playing time, so Fantasy owners should consider him just a low-end NL-only option.
