Diaz made his way down the Astros’ bench and sought fist bumps from teammates who did not bother raising their hands to meet his. After a few moments, they broke their stone-faced silence and rushed as a group to embrace and cheer the rookie catcher. Diaz has taken 52 major-league plate appearances through 16 games played for the Astros this season. Nine of his 13 starts were made at catcher, including seven in games where Hunter Brown started on the mound. He has caught one game started by J.P. France and one by José Urquidy, who is on the injured list with right shoulder discomfort.
Baker said he wanted Maldonado and Brown to get acclimated to each other in the event Diaz is one day unavailable to catch. Asked if the same logic applied in reverse — if Diaz would get to catch Cristian Javier or Framber Valdez as a safeguard against a potential Maldonado injury — the manager was noncommittal.
