Yilber Diaz Likely To Start For Diamondbacks On Monday
5 months agoRight-hander Yilber Diaz, a top Diamondbacks prospect, is likely to start for Arizona on Monday against the Atlanta Braves. Diaz, a 6-foot 190 LB right-hander, has racked up 105 strikeouts in 76 innings between Double-A Amarillo and Triple-A Reno, combining for a 4.03 ERA. Diaz made headlines in the past week with a six inning, 13 strikeout performance against the Sacramento River Cats. The righty features an upper-90s fastball, curveball and slider as his main pitch mix. While dominant with strikeouts, he will face walk issues and posted a 4.5 BB/9 in the minors this season. Fantasy managers should look to add Diaz as soon as possible given Arizona's issues with injuries in their rotation.
