4/13/25 Fan reaches into Mike Trout's glove to snatch a catch from Angels outfielder. A fan snatched the ball out of Mike Trout’s glove after the Los Angeles Angels star reached into the right field stands to make what appeared to be a great catch. Trout raced into the right-field corner on the fly ball hit by Yainer Diaz in the second inning, leaped and extended his left arm into the stands to make the grab. But a fan wearing a Houston Astros jersey immediately grabbed the ball as Trout immediately gestured to umpires that the fan had taken it out of his glove. First base umpire Alan Porter ruled it a foul ball and not a catch. It was not reviewed by replay.

4/11/25 Yainer Diaz's career night guides Astros over Angels. Yainer Diaz clubbed his first career grand slam and produced a career-high five RBIs as the Houston Astros thumped the visiting Los Angeles Angels 14-3 Friday night in the opener of a three-game series. The Astros sent 20 batters to the plate in the fifth and sixth innings and totaled 10 runs in those frames.

9/24/24 Astros catcher listed as potential breakout star as postseason looms. The Houston Astros overcame a dreadful 7-19 start to the 2024 season and are now four games up in the American League West over the Seattle Mariners. Now, Houston is seemingly pointed towards the postseason, and they should once again be a force to be reckoned with. Sarah Langs of MLB.com predicts that catcher Yainer Diaz will be a breakout star for the Astros this postseason. "Diaz quickly established himself among impactful catcher at the plate last season with a 128 OPS+ in 104 games as a rookie," Langs wrote.

The Blue Jays and Astros provided some early July 4 fireworks Thursday, but Toronto was unable to keep the offence rolling past the first inning in a 5-3 loss to Houston.
