Diaz is back behind the plate after getting the day off on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz's performance today highlighted his ability to contribute significantly in multiple categories, boosting his season batting average to .293. With 29 hits, including four doubles and now a triple, along with three homers over 25 games, Diaz is proving to be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and runs scored. His low strikeout rate (0.140) combined with a decent walk rate (0.065) and a solid .336 wOBA suggests sustained offensive production, making him a viable option for fantasy managers in need of a catcher who consistently puts the ball in play.
