Scouting Report: Yonathan Daza
Chicago Cubs | CF
Overall
Summary
Yainer Diaz, Houston Astros catcher, suffered a left oblique strain during batting practice and was placed on the 10-day injured list. Manager Joe Espada indicated the injury will sideline him "a while" based on MRI results. Diaz was showing signs of improvement before the injury, with his batting average climbing above .250 and increased power production. Christian Vázquez will assume primary catching duties with César Salazar as backup. The timing is unfortunate as Diaz was beginning to demonstrate positive offensive trends after a slow start to the season.
Strengths
- Beginning to show offensive improvement before injury with batting average above .250
- Demonstrating increased power production
