On track for activation Tuesday
Diaz (oblique) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Diaz wasn't able to play a full nine-inning rehab game behind the plate Sunday as planned after Triple-A Sugar Land had its series finale rained out, but after returning to Houston, he was able to get in some live at-bats Monday at Daikin Park. Assuming his oblique isn't presenting any issues for him coming out of that workout, Diaz should step back in behind the plate Tuesday to catch for starting pitcher Hunter Brown (shoulder), who is also on track to be reinstated from the IL. Before the left oblique strain sent him to the shelf May 5, Diaz had gotten off to a slow start to the season, slashing just .235/.255/.347 with two home runs, 14 RBI and seven runs across 106 plate appearances.

Could return early next week
Diaz (oblique) could be reinstated from the injured list during the Astros' upcoming series versus Detroit, which begins Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Diaz has been sidelined since early May due to a left oblique strain. He began a minor-league rehab assignment June 9 and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk through three games with Triple-A Sugar Land. Diaz figures to reclaim his job as Houston's No. 1 catcher upon his return, though his .602 OPS through 26 games this year may leave the door open for the defensively superior Christian Vazquez to force a timeshare.

Beginning rehab assignment
Diaz (oblique) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Análise
The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since early May due to an oblique strain, but he's been cleared for game action after ramping up his baseball activities. Diaz had a poor start to the season offensively with a .602 OPS through 26 games, and Christian Vazquez's superior work behind the plate could mean that the Astros deploy a more even split of playing time at catcher, per Rome.
