Placed on injured list Diaz (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Diaz was removed from Tuesday's matchup due to left groin discomfort and will be unavailable for at least a week and a half. Yordan Alvarez is starting in left field while Trey Mancini serves as the designated hitter Wednesday against the White Sox, and J.J. Matijevic was called up by the Astros to provide additional outfield depth in Diaz's absence.

May miss time Manager Dusty Baker said after Tuesday's loss to the White Sox that Diaz is "probably not available" for the rest of the Astros' current road trip, which runs through Sunday in Atl...
Impact The utility man could be headed to the injured list if Baker is right, though Diaz himself hopes it's just tightness and that he'll feel better Wednesday. The 32-year-old at least seems likely to be unavailable for the remaining two games in Chicago.

Lifted with groin issue Diaz was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox due to left groin discomfort, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Diaz went 0-for-2 before exiting Tuesday's contest during the fourth inning. The 32-year-old has been playing more outfield with Michael Brantley (shoulder), and he suffered the injury while making a catch in left field. Chas McCormick is likely to see increased playing time if Diaz is forced to miss any time.

Out of Sunday's lineup Diaz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.
Impact Diaz has an .806 OPS in August but will sit for the second consecutive game Sunday. The 32-year-old may not be an everyday player down the stretch, but he should still see regular action, especially in left field, with Michael Brantley (shoulder) out for the season. Chas McCormick will start in left and bat seven in the series finale versus the A's.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out of lineup Diaz will sit Saturday against Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Diaz should continue to play frequently in left field down the stretch after Michael Brantley underwent season-ending shoulder surgery. Trey Mancini will occupy that spot Saturday.

Sitting Wednesday Diaz is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rangers.
Impact Diaz will get a day off after he went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's win. Chas McCormick will take over in left field and bat seventh versus Texas.

Belts grand slam in win Diaz went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Rangers.
Impact Diaz's fourth-inning blast off Martin Perez was his second grand slam of the season and helped the Astros dig out of an early 4-0 hole. The 32-year-old was making his third consecutive start at a different position Wednesday, but he'll likely see the bulk of his opportunities in left field moving forward. Chas McCormick looks to be the primary threat to Diaz's playing time, though the Astros could soon give trade-deadline pickup Trey Mancini some exposure to the corner outfield.

Filling in for resting Altuve Diaz will start at second base and bat second in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact After a one-game absence due to a sore ring finger, Diaz checked back into the lineup for Saturday's 4-1 loss, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles an an RBI. He'll make his second straight start in the middle infield, this time replacing a resting Jose Altuve after spelling Jeremy Pena on Saturday. Moving forward, Diaz is projected to see most of his playing time in left field while the Astros wait for Michael Brantley (shoulder) to return from the injured list.
AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to lineup Diaz (finger) will bat sixth and play shortstop Saturday against the Guardians.
Impact Diaz missed Friday's game with a sore left ring finger, but the issue was evidently a minor one. He'll return to the lineup to give the slumping Jeremy Pena a rest.

Impact Imaging on the finger revealed no fractures, and manager Dusty Baker said Diaz might be available to pinch hit Friday. Diaz is hitting .306 with three home runs over his last 10 games.

Another multi-hit game Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.
Impact Diaz has been a regular in the Houston lineup of late, starting nine of the 13 games since the All-Star break. He's hit very well in that span, maintaining a .361 average with three homers, five RBI and seven runs scored. However, once Trey Mancini and Alex Bregman (personal) are plugged into the lineup, it may cost Diaz a significant amount of playing time.

Hits bench Sunday Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact According to Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle, manager Dusty Baker said Diaz was initially penciled in to start Sunday, but the Astros opted to withhold the 31-year-old from the lineup to give him a chance to rest his legs. Chas McCormick will draw the start in left field in place of Diaz, who had been included in the starting nine in six of the previous seven contests.

Homers in second straight Diaz went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk in a 5-4 loss to the Mariners on Saturday.
Impact Diaz homered off Chris Flexen in the bottom of the fifth inning for his third home run over the last two games. Diaz has put together an impressive July, slashing .286/.351/.600 in 70 at-bats. The utility player now has nine home runs and 25 RBI on the season and is producing out of the bottom third of the lineup. It is worth monitoring to see if he can build on his momentum in August.
