Yilber Diaz Struggling at Triple-A
Yilber Diaz has been struggling at Triple-A Reno throughout the first half of the campaign. The No.5-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com has typically been deployed in a relief role and has logged 39 innings to the tune of an 11.31 ERA with a 2.36 WHIP. During this stretch, Diaz has struck out 45 hitters and served up 55 walks. In his most recent outing on July 12, he allowed three runs and was unable to tally one out. This is a significant drop in production for the right-hander as he was quite effective with Triple-A last season and even made his MLB debut. Through 50 1/3 innings with Triple-A last season, Diaz held a 3.22 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. Fantasy managers should not expect Diaz to be in the mix to return to Arizona, given his struggles.
