Fantasy Impact:

Salazar’s .787 OPS in 12 Astros games and .788 mark over 78 Sugar Land contests in 2024 couldn’t top Diaz and Caratini, landing him in Triple-A Tuesday. The 29-year-old’s bat stays steady. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, eyeing a call-up if injuries hit Houston’s catching depth later in the season.
