Starts at First Base in Saturday's Matchup vs. Toronto

Jose Fernandez is in the starting lineup for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday, April 18, playing first base against the Toronto Blue Jays. Fernandez is slated to bat seventh in the order. His inclusion at first base provides the Diamondbacks with defensive coverage and another left-handed bat in the lower third of the lineup. He will be part of the effort to support the Arizona pitching staff as they face a competitive Blue Jays squad in the middle game of their home series.
