Elias Díaz Stats

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the club's starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's contest against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's not a surprise to see the All-Star backstop get the afternoon off following a night contest on Tuesday in which he logged a trio of singles and an RBI in the Rockies' 6-4 triumph over the Cubs. The 32-year-old made the All-Star team on the back of a .277 average and .761 OPS in the season's first half but Diaz has hit .263 with a .702 OPS since the All-Star break. Austin Wynns will take over the behind the plate and hit ninth against Taillon Wednesday in Denver.

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is out of Saturday's lineup against the Miami Marlins. It appears to be a maintenance day for the 32-year-old. Austin Wynns hits ninth and takes over behind the plate to catch right-hander Chase Anderson for this one. Diaz, the 2023 All-Star Game MVP, went deep on Friday night to end an 18-game homerless slump, going a brutal 8-for-55 over this skid. Fantasy managers should expect the backstop to return to action for Sunday's series finale in Miami. Diaz has served as a top-10 fantasy catcher in roto leagues this year, batting .268 with 10 big flies, 46 RBI, and 28 runs scored in 298 at-bats.
