Heading to bench Saturday
Diaz is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analisi
Christian Vazquez will take over behind the plate as Diaz rests after catching back-to-back games. Diaz's .705 OPS for the season is right in line with his .701 mark from 2025, but he sits at half of last year's homer total of 20, having missed roughly a month and a half earlier in the season with an oblique injury.

Resting after two-homer game
Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Analisi
Diaz will get a breather Wednesday, one night after turning in one of his best performances of the season. He was the star of Tuesday's 9-7 win, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, one walk, three RBI and an additional run. Christian Vazquez will get the nod behind the plate in Diaz's stead.

First multi-homer game of 2026
Diaz went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs, an RBI single and an additional run scored during the Astros' 9-7 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Analisi
Diaz opened Tuesday's scoring with a solo home run in the second inning before going long again in the eighth. It was the third multi-homer game of his major-league career and first of the season, and his RBI single in the ninth set a season high in runs driven in with three. Diaz has gone 13-for-50 (.260) with six RBI and three extra-base hits in August.
