Kurtz does it again with homer off Hader in 10th to lift Athletics over Astros

Caps huge inning with homer
Caratini went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored Wednesday in an 11-4 victory versus the Athletics.
Impact
The Astros put together a seven-run sixth inning, and Caratini's three-run blast to left field accounted for the team's final runs in that explosive frame. The veteran backstop began June in a 3-for-35 tailspin through 10 games, but he appears to be turning things around, going 5-for-8 over his past two contests. While Caratini continues to serve as Yainer Diaz's backup behind the plate, he's been in the lineup frequently with additional starts at both DH and first base, and he's put up a decent .718 OPS with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs through 167 plate appearances.

Idle Friday

Getting Sunday off
Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact
With Jeremy Pena getting a day off from playing shortstop but staying in the starting nine at designated hitter, the Astros won't have a lineup spot available for Caratini. The 31-year-old has been a near-everyday player for Houston following Yordan Alvarez's (hand) placement on the injured list May 5 and is batting .272/.333/.383 with two home runs, eight RBI and five runs since that date.

Racks up three hits Thursday
Caratini went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Thursday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.
Impact
Caratini has logged multiple hits in four of his last seven games, though he has just two RBI in that span. The catcher is up to a .287/.367/.448 slash line with three home runs, six RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles across 98 plate appearances this season. His strong hitting has earned him a near-everyday role in the absence of Yordan Alvarez (hand). While Alvarez's eventual return will negatively impact Caratini's playing time, he could still hit his way into some extra games since fellow catcher Yainer Diaz is hitting just .231 this season.

Taking seat Wednesday
Caratini is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact
Caratini was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, but he'll get a breather for the Wednesday afternoon contest while Yainer Diaz handles the catching duties. Until Yordan Alvarez (hand) returns from the injured list, the Astros should have regular spots in the lineup available for both Diaz and Caratini at either catcher or designated hitter. Caratini had started in nine of the Astros' previous 11 games.

Jake Meyers hits go-ahead HR, Josh Hader gets 12th save as Astros beat Rays 4-3

Benefiting from Alvarez's absence
Caratini will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Impact
Caratini has been a beneficiary of Yordan Alvarez's (hand) recent move to the injured list, which has freed up a regular spot in the lineup at designated hitter. The Astros haven't settled on any one player to replace Alvarez, but because top backstop Yainer Diaz has been included in the DH rotation, Caratini has seen his playing time pick up. Caratini will be making his fourth start in five games Wednesday.

Launces two-run homer
Caratini went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Reds.
Impact
Caratini finished off the Astros' six-run third inning with a two-run homer off Brady Singer. It was Caratini's second home run of the season, both of which have come over his last five starts. He is slashing .255/.356/.431 with nine runs scored, two home runs and four RBI this season.

Getting fourth start of the season
Caratini will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Impact
Caratini will receive his fourth start through the Astros' first 12 games of the season while Yainer Diaz gets the afternoon off. Diaz has mustered a lowly .200 OPS through 36 plate appearances, but after batting .299 with 16 home runs in 148 games in 2024, he likely has a long leash as the Astros' No. 1 backstop.
