Yainer Diaz Headed to 10-Day IL With Left Oblique Injury

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz is set for a 10-day injured list stint due to a left oblique injury. The 27-year-old, who is hitting .248 with two home runs this season, sustained the injury during batting practice prior to Monday's 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Initially reported as a left abdominal issue, medical evaluation confirmed the oblique injury, forcing the Astros to adjust their battery rotation as they move forward without their starting backstop.
