Yainer Diaz drives in lone run in Astros' loss
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 7:21am EDT
Yainer Diaz went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the Astros' 2-1 defeat to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
While Diaz managed to contribute a pair of hits and an RBI, his efforts weren't enough to turn the tide for Houston. Despite the lackluster team performance, Diaz's season continues to be solid, maintaining a .287 batting average with modest power numbers. His consistent contact ability is a plus, but his low walk rate and high strikeout rate may concern fantasy managers looking for more well-rounded offensive contributors. Diaz remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in leagues that value hits and RBI from the catcher position, but his limited on-base skills cap his upside in formats that reward a broader array of statistical contributions.
