Fantasy Impact

Despite his high ERA of 6.08 this season, this outing could be a sign of stabilization for Diaz, who has been struggling with consistency. His ability to secure saves, now totaling seven, keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues that value closers. However, his high WHIP of 1.50 and the ongoing issues with walks suggest a cautious approach. Fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely, as his high strikeout rate (10.8 K/9) remains an enticing factor, but the risk of damage to ERA and WHIP is significant.

Alexis Diaz allowed two hits, two walks, and four earned runs in the Reds’ 11-1 loss to the Orioles.

Diaz entered the game to get some work after last appearing on April 29. Unfortunately he had a very rough day on the mound and will look to bounce back in his next outing. With a 6.57 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP in 13 games, fantasy managers should avoid Diaz for now.

Diaz needed just seven pitches to close out the game, though he didn't record any strikeouts. This performance continues to solidify his role as the Reds' closer, especially after a season showing a solid 3.27 ERA and a commendable 1.09 WHIP. His ability to maintain a low BABIP (.231) and a decent strikeout rate (9.0 K/9) should keep him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves. However, his modest strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.83) suggests there might be some volatility in his performances, so fantasy managers should remain cautiously optimistic.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not recording any strikeouts in this outing, Diaz's performance was efficient, needing just five pitches to secure the game. This season, Diaz has been a reliable option in the closer role, now tallying his fifth save. His ERA sits at a respectable 3.48 with a solid 1.16 WHIP, indicating his effectiveness in limiting base runners. His high strikeout rate (9.6 K/9) remains a significant asset, though his strikeout-to-walk ratio could use some improvement. Fantasy managers should continue to view Diaz as a valuable asset in leagues that reward saves, though his lack of strikeouts in this appearance might raise some eyebrows among those expecting more dominant displays.
