    • Expected back Friday
      Astros manager Joe Espada expects Diaz (finger) to be available to return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Diaz will miss a third straight start Wednesday in San Francisco due to a sore right index finger, but Espada indicated the catcher is nearly recovered and will be available off the bench. Espada also noted that Diaz's finger issue primarily affects his throwing and accuracy, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic, so it's possible that Diaz could return to the lineup as a designated hitter initially.

    • Yainer Diaz (finger) likely to start Friday
      Yainer Diaz, who has been dealing with a finger contusion, could rejoin the Astros lineup on Friday, manager Joe Espada said.

      Advice: Diaz is available if needed today, but the Astros might prefer not to use him. Victor Caratini is getting the start behind the plate. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:22 am

    • Out of lineup again Wednesday
      Diaz (finger) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Diaz is still feeling the effects of a foul tip off his right index finger and will miss a third straight start. He remains day-to-day and could be ready to play Friday versus the Tigers after the Astros' off day Thursday. Victor Caratini will handle the catching duties again Wednesday.

    • Yainer Diaz out Tuesday with finger contusion
      Yainer Diaz (finger) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Giants.

      Advice: Diaz is available off the bench once again, if needed, but he’ll sit out his second straight contest as he continues to recover from a bruised right index finger. It’ll be Victor Caratini handing the catching duties with César Salazar up from the minors as emergency depth. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:14 pm

    • Sitting Tuesday
      Diaz (finger) isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

      Advice: X-ray and MRI results on Diaz's right index finger came back negative before Tuesday's game, but the Astros will opt to hold him out of action rather than using him as their designated hitter. Victor Caratini, who figures to start regularly until Diaz is cleared to catch again, will get the nod behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:06 pm

    • X-ray, MRI comes back negative
      The Astros are hopeful Diaz can avoid the injured list after an X-ray and MRI on his right index finger came back negative, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 in Houston reports.

      Advice: Diaz is still dealing with swelling in the finger after it was hit by a foul tip during Sunday's game against the Angels. While a decision on a potential IL stint has not yet been made, it sounds like Diaz is trending toward avoiding it for now. The Astros are set to recall Cesar Salazar as insurance behind the plate, so it seems as though Diaz will be unavailable to catch for a few more days. He was available to pinch hit Monday, so it's possible Diaz will serve as a designated hitter until he's ready to catch. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:39 am

    • Yainer Díaz (finger) out of lineup but available
      Yainer Díaz is out of Monday’s lineup because of a bruised right index finger, but he is available off the bench for the Astros.

      Advice: Victor Caratini is starting behind the plate against the Giants tonight. Díaz was hurt when he was hit by a foul ball Sunday. Rotoworld Jun 10, 5:01 pm

    • Dealing with soreness
      Diaz isn't starting Monday's game against the Giants due to soreness and limited range of motion in his right index finger, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Diaz took a foul tip to his right hand during Sunday's game against the Angels, and he didn't feel healthy enough to start Monday's series opener. However, manager Joe Espada noted Diaz will be available to pinch hit if needed. Victor Caratini draws the start behind the dish and will bat ninth in Diaz's place. Rotowire.com Jun 10, 4:59 pm

    • Smacks homer Sunday
      Santander went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

      Advice: Santander has homered in every other game in June, going 11-for-35 (.314) with five long balls and eight RBI over nine contests this month. It's a continuation of the momentum he found at the plate in late May, though the uptick in power is an added positive. The outfielder is up to 14 homers, 37 RBI, 34 runs scored, 13 doubles and one triple while slashing .227/.306/.480 through 60 contests this season. Rotowire.com Jun 9, 4:26 pm
