Lewin Diaz On The Bench Against The Mets

Miami Marlins first baseman Lewin Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Monday against New York Mets left-hander David Peterson. Diaz was recalled from the minors for the weekend series against the Mets and went 1-for-10 with a double and a run scored while starting two games. The 25-year-old should continue to start at first base against right-handed pitchers with Jesus Aguilar on the COVID-19 list. Garrett Cooper will get the nod at first base on Monday and will bat cleanup. Cooper will be a solid DFS target in the cleanup spot, as he’s hitting .375 (12-for-32) with three RBI and four runs scored in eight games over the last two weeks.
