Not starting Saturday Diaz will be on the bench Saturday against the Dodgers.

Impact Diaz has become the Rockies' primary catcher despite a .210/.278/.381 slash line, though he's justified the role over his last 16 games, homering six times while posting a 1.071 OPS. Dom Nunez will start behind the plate Saturday.

Homers Friday Diaz went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's game 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Diaz got the scoring kicked off for the Rockies with a solo homer to left off David Price in the third. The 30-year-old sent one out for the first time since July 7 after he homered five times in a span of eight games a few weeks back. He still has not swung a healthy bat overall, as he's slashing .210/.278/.381 with eight homers, 19 RBI,20 runs scored and a 17:33 BB:K over 194 plate appearances. His lack of ability to produce has afforded him a timeshare behind the plate with Dom Nunez.

Not starting Saturday Diaz will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Anyone who calls Coors Field home is theoretically an interesting fantasy option, but that hasn't been the case for either of the Rockies' backstops this season. Diaz is hitting just .209/.282/.374 on the year, while Dom Nunez, who starts behind the plate Saturday, is hitting an even worse .171/.274/.355.

Day off Saturday Diaz will sit Saturday against the Padres, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Diaz, Padres bullpen dominate in 4-2 win over Rockies

Reliever Miguel Diaz rejoined the Padres for the fourth time this season and was part of a dominant performance by the San Diego bullpen in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies

Out of lineup Thursday Diaz isn't starting Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Diaz has gone 8-for-21 with three home runs, two doubles, six RBI and four runs across his last six appearances, and he'll get a breather Thursday. Dom Nunez will start at catcher and bat eighth.

Homers in loss Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Arizona.

Impact Diaz took Matt Peacock deep to center to lead off the seventh and finally get the Rockies on the scoreboard. He now has five homers over his last eight games after having only two in his first 41 contests. The recent power surge has been a welcoming surprise but is surely unsustainable and won't take away from the fact that Diaz is slashing just .205/.280/.384 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and a 16:31 BB:K over 168 plate appearances for the season.

Heads to bench Sunday Diaz is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Impact Diaz started six of the past seven games and will receive the day off Sunday. Dom Nunez will work behind the plate in his place.

JULY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Power surge continues Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 9-3 extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The 30-year-old backstop is on a roll, hitting safely in six straight games and going yard in four straight. The surge has boosted his slash line on the season to a still-rough .203/.279/.377, but he's at least been a viable streaming option in Coors Field, posting a .786 OPS at home with five of his six homers on the year.

Slugs walk-off homer Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double, three-run homer and strikeout in a 5-2 victory against St. Louis on Thursday.

Impact Diaz has been scorching of late as he extended his hitting streak to five games and homer streak to three with his walk-off blast in the ninth. The hot streak has increased his slash line to .194/.273/.343, though Diaz has been much better of late following an abysmal opening two months.

Sitting Wednesday Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

Impact After he was behind the plate for each of the Rockies' last three games, Diaz will cede catching duties to Dom Nunez in the series finale. With Diaz having homered in back-to-back games and recorded at least one hit in four straight contests, he appears to have solidified his spot atop the depth chart for the time being.

Goes deep again Tuesday Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in an 8-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Impact The backstop crushed a 451-foot solo shot to center field in the fifth inning for his fourth homer of the season. Three of those long balls have come in his past eight games, including two in the past two days. The sudden power surge has helped Diaz get the majority of starts behind the dish of late, as fellow catcher Dom Nunez is hitting only .135 in June and hasn't homered since May 1.

Belt third homer Diaz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 2-0 victory over the Pirates.

Impact Diaz handed the Rockies an insurance run in the fifth inning with a solo home run to center. He's typically not a huge power threat, but he's now hit safely in three straight games and is batting .300 with two homers and three RBI over his last seven contests.

JUNE 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Diaz is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Mariners.

Impact Diaz will take a seat for the second consecutive contest with Dom Nunez starting behind the plate. The pair should continue splitting time at catcher for Colorado.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Sunday Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Diaz will give way to Dom Nunez in the series finale, but the former seems to be benefiting from the larger share of playing time at catcher lately. Before sitting Sunday, Diaz started behind the plate in four of the Rockies' last six games.

JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On base four times Diaz went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 8-7 win over San Diego.

Impact Diaz had his best game of the season Wednesday. He swatted his second homer of the year, a game-tying solo shot in the fourth inning off San Diego starter Blake Snell. This was just the seventh time in 36 games Diaz got on base multiple times. He has a .165/.233/.257 slash line through 120 plate appearances, and he'll likely continue to split playing time with Dom Nunez behind the dish.
