Alexis Diaz navigated a scoreless frame to notch a save as the Reds toppled the Cubs 6-3 on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Diaz allowed one walk but kept the Cubs hitless, securing his 22nd save of the season. Despite a less-than-stellar season ERA of 4.23 and a WHIP of 1.46, Diaz continues to be a viable closing option, primarily due to his role in a Reds team that provides him with regular save opportunities. His strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) remains decent, though fantasy managers might be wary of his high walk rates and FIP (4.33), suggesting some underlying struggles. Moving forward, while Diaz remains a solid source of saves, his peripheral stats indicate potential volatility.
