A left oblique injury will place Astros catcher Yainer Diaz on the 10-day injured list, with César Salazar being called up to take his place. Diaz joins several teammates on the injured list, including regulars Jeremy Peña and Jake Meyers, and has struggled offensively this season, hitting .248/.264/.356. While Christian Vázquez has performed well, he may not be suited for a primary catching role. The timeline for Diaz’s return remains unclear, as oblique injuries can vary in recovery time.
