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.

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.
