Struggling since return at Triple-A
Dirden (hamstring) has gone 2-for-21 with a double and 2:9 BB:K in six games since being reinstated from Triple-A Sugar Land's 7-day injured list July 16.
ANALYSIS
Dirden has looked rusty since returning to action at Sugar Land following a three-plus-week layoff, but he at least appears to be feeling fine physically after suffering a hamstring strain in late June. The 26-year-old outfielder is considered one of the Astros' top position prospects and could get a look with the big club in August or September if he can eventually regain his early-season form at the plate. Dirden has posted a .789 OPS across 277 plate appearances overall with Sugar Land in 2023.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
An undrafted, fifth-year senior out of Southeast Missouri State in 2020, the year of the five-round draft, Dirden spent 2021 at Single-A and High-A and 2022 at Double-A and Triple-A. He is older (turns 26 in July) than the typical legitimate prospect who will open the year at Triple-A, but at least Dirden's biography excuses his age to some extent. He hit 24 home runs in 124 games last season, and his 32.8% groundball rate at Double-A was stellar, but he struggled (28.2 K%, 73 wRC+) in a 32-game run at Triple-A to close the year. Dirden is a decent athlete, capable of playing all three outfield spots, and he went 12-for-15 on stolen-base attempts. A lefty hitter, Dirden would probably get platooned (.999 OPS vs. RHP, .782 OPS vs. LHP) if he hits enough to earn a regular role in the majors.
