Yainer Diaz idle Thursday for Astros
Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz is not in the lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Logan Gilbert and the Seattle Mariners.
What It Means
Diaz started the last two games at catcher and went 1-for-6 with 4 strikeouts. He also committed an error in the field. Victor Caratini will catch for Spencer Arrighetti and bat seventh on Thursday afternoon.
numberFire's models project Caratini for 8.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros have the second-worst implied total (3.57) out of 16 active teams today.
