Diaz went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Diaz has had some struggles at the plate recently, going just 3-for-20 with one RBI and six strikeouts over his last five games. He's started just three of the last five games while batting seventh or eighth in those games after spending much of the first three weeks of June hitting between second and sixth in the order. Houston hasn't settled on one particular cleanup hitter for much of the season, and much of the lineup is in flux against right-handed pitchers. Diaz has had some struggles this year -- he's slashing .245/.276/.396 with 10 homers, 34 RBI and 30 runs scored over 71 contests.

Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 3-2 win against the Twins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Houston managed just four hits in the contest, and Diaz's two-run homer in the third inning was the only knock that went for extra bases. The backstop has notched an extra-base hit in four straight games, and he's gone 7-for-17 over that span. Diaz is still hitting well below his standard with a .247 batting average on the campaign, but he's at a .361 mark with two homers and six RBI over his past nine contests.

The 26-year-old is not quite living up to the high bar he set for himself after just missing batting .300 last season, slashing just .232/.267/.384 this year.
