Yainer Díaz Deserves Regular Playing Time Based on Performance

The Houston Astros' decision to call up Bligh Madris and option Cesar Salazar creates an issue with playing time for rookie slugger Yainer Diaz, who has been performing well in June. While the Astros value Martin Maldonado's intangibles as the primary catcher, Diaz's production warrants more playing time, not less, especially with the team trailing the Rangers and trying to compete with the Angels. However, the lack of a backup catcher on the active roster may limit Diaz's playing time.

Astros reveal opening day roster with Julks and Salazar included.

The Houston Astros have added outfielder Corey Julks and catcher César Salazar to their opening day roster, while optioning top prospect Korey Lee to Class AAA Sugar Land. Righthanders Seth Martinez and Ronel Blanco nabbed the club’s final two bullpen spots, while catcher Yainer Diaz completed the team’s bench. Houston will carry two backups to starter Martín Maldonado, a roster permutation that grew more clear once Michael Brantley’s recovery from shoulder surgery was delayed. Diaz and Julks are on their first career opening day rosters.
