Yilber Diaz Shines in Debut Despite D-Backs Loss
by Matthew Adam | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Tue, Jul 9th 6:33am EDT
Yilber Diaz delivered a promising start, allowing just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the solid performance, Diaz didn't factor into the decision, but his outing was a silver lining for fantasy managers. With a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP after his first start, Diaz is showing signs that he could be a valuable asset in fantasy rotations, especially if he maintains his low WHIP and favorable strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can sustain this performance level.
