View More NewsYainer Diaz powers Astros to 7-1 victory over Angels
Yainer Diaz went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Astros' 7-1 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz's performance included a crucial home run that helped extend the Astros' lead, contributing significantly to the team's victory. With this game, Diaz continues to show potential as a power-hitting catcher, raising his season RBI total to 32 and his home run count to 7. While his batting average remains modest at .258, his ability to drive in runs and hit for power makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that value RBI and home runs. His low walk rate and strikeout rate indicate a need for improvement in plate discipline, but his current power surge could make him a worthwhile option for fantasy managers in need of offensive production from the catcher position.
