Avila went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' 6-4 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The home run was Avila's first since July 26, but that power outage qualifies as a minor dry spell in what has been a tough season for the backstop. More so than his lack of home-run output, Avila's ugly .174 batting average remains the biggest reason behind his diminished fantasy value. That mark places him 314th among the 317 hitters who have logged at least 180 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Avila is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Avila didn't start any of the three games behind the plate during the series in San Diego, as John Ryan Murphy will handle catching duties Sunday after Jeff Mathis served as the team's backstop Friday and Saturday. With Mathis establishing himself as the personal catcher for both Zack Greinke and Patrick Corbin, Avila is virtually guaranteed to sit at least twice every five games, rendering him a rather unappealing option even in most two-catcher formats.

Avila isn't in Friday's lineup against San Diego.
