Astros lose catcher Diaz to oblique strain

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. Manager Joe Espada indicated he'll be out 'for a while' without specifying a timeline.

Diaz was injured during batting practice on Monday and will miss significant time. The Astros have called up catcher César Salazar from Triple-A Sugar Land to serve as backup with veteran Christian Vázquez stepping in as the starter.

The 27-year-old Diaz is hitting .248 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 26 games this season. chickenroadslot.pro
