Rockies' Elias Diaz: Sitting out third straight
Diaz (hand) isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.
Left hand soreness will cause Diaz to miss his third game in a row Saturday. The Rockies haven't given any indication that the 33-year-old backstop is trending toward an IL stint, but he may have to spend time on the injured list if his condition doesn't improve within the next couple of days. Hunter Goodman will start behind the plate and bat eighth while Diaz recovers.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Two-run blast in loss
Diaz went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.
Diaz drove in Colorado's third run of the game with an infield single in the bottom of the fifth and later added a two-run shot in the ninth to bring his team back within two runs of the Giants, though his effort would fall short. It marked the catcher's third multi-hit game already this month, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six contests. The home run was only Diaz's third of the season, though he's now batting .348 in May with four RBI and three extra-base hits.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: First homer of 2024
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Diamondbacks.
He made his lone hit of the game count when he took Merrill Kelly deep in the second inning to tally his first homer of the season. Diaz has hit sixth in each of Colorado's first two games and has two hits across seven plate appearances. The Rockies are reportedly looking to rest the 33-year-old more often in 2024 and have Jacob Stallings on the roster as a reliable defender, so Diaz should be on the bench for one of the series' final two games this weekend.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Could rest more in 2024
The Rockies hope to rest Diaz more in 2024 after acquiring Jacob Stallings in the offseason, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Diaz earned a career-high 526 plate appearances and suited up in 141 games in 2023, primarily because the Rockies lacked a reliable second catcher. The addition of Stallings gives the team a solid defensive backstop, and Diaz is likely to see less volume as a result. Given his mediocre .725 OPS and .142 ISO from a year ago, his fantasy value is likely to take at least a moderate hit.
