Yainer Diaz Delivers Despite Astros' Loss
by Matthew Adam | Astros Correspondent | Tue, Sep 3rd 5:39am EDT
Yainer Diaz went 2-for-3 with three RBI in the Astros' 5-3 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Diaz's performance was a bright spot, driving in all three of Houston's runs. This game underscores Diaz's consistent ability to contribute RBI, pushing his season total to 78. Maintaining a .300 batting average over 126 games, he has proven to be a reliable source of hits and occasional power, with 16 homers to his credit this year. His low walk rate and moderate strikeout rate suggest he's a contact hitter who relies more on putting the ball in play than drawing walks, which aligns with his solid .331 wOBA. Fantasy managers should continue to value Diaz for his batting average and RBI production as he remains a steady presence in the Astros' lineup.
