Yainer Diaz Headed to Injured List with Oblique Strain

Houston Astros catcher Yainer Diaz is set for an injured list stint after suffering a left oblique strain during batting practice. The 27-year-old, who is hitting .248 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 26 games, will be sidelined for several weeks. His absence is a significant blow to the Astros' catching depth, forcing the team to seek immediate internal replacements to handle duties behind the plate.
