Astros' Yainer Diaz: Slowly picking up production
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double against the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Diaz is hitting just .130 across his first 57 plate appearances this season, and he had only two hits across his first 33 at-bats. He's picked things up slightly of late, collecting five hits across his last 21 at-bats. While his surface stats are concerning, Diaz's bat skills are fine, highlighted by a 12.2 percent barrel rate.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Getting breather Sunday
Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
Victor Caratini will receive the starting nod behind the dish while Diaz rests for a day game after a night game. Though he went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 4-1 loss, Diaz busted out of his slump in a big way in the series opener Friday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and an additional run in the Astros' 14-3 victory.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Erupts with five RBI, two XBH
Diaz went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 14-3 win over the Angels.
Diaz had more hits Friday than he did in his first nine games of the season combined. This big effort at the plate also included his first extra-base hits of the year as well as his first RBI since Opening Day. Diaz delivered a grand slam to cap a six-run fifth inning and added an RBI double as the Astros rallied again in the sixth. That raised his batting average to .132 (5-for-38) with six RBI and three runs scored across 10 contests. Diaz is likely to continue playing in a starting role at catcher -- he's shown potential with 39 homers and 144 RBI across 252 games over the last two seasons, so his slow start to 2025 may just be a brief slump.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Sitting Wednesday
Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Diaz has been one of the bigger disappointments among fantasy catchers so far this season; he's gone 2-for-33 with no home runs, one RBI and one run scored through the Astros' first 11 games. Though Diaz will be given a breather for the day game after a night game, the Astros will likely continue to allow the 26-year-old to play through his struggles, given the strong production he's provided over the past two seasons.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Ugly start to season
Diaz went 0-for-5 with a strikeout Sunday against the Twins.
Diaz has struggled significantly to begin the season, collecting only two hits across 26 at-bats. He has just a .105 BABIP -- a mark that will surely improve -- but Diaz has also seen his strikeout rate inflate to 25 percent in the early going.

Astros' Yainer Diaz: Back in action Sunday
Diaz (illness) is starting behind the plate and batting cleanup in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
The 26-year-old has been sidelined the past few days due to an illness but is ready to return to the lineup. Diaz has gone just 4-for-30 through 11 games in spring training, but he also had a .666 OPS last spring before turning in a .299/.325/.441 slash line with 16 homers during the regular season.
