Smacks second-inning homer Diaz went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Diaz's ninth long ball of the season briefly helped the Rockies recapture the lead after the Dodgers tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning. Even after leaving the yard twice during the series in Los Angeles, Diaz is sitting on a modest .675 OPS for the season. Even for a catcher, that mark is nothing special, but it should be good enough to keep Diaz ahead of Dom Nunez (.633 OPS, 37.2 percent strikeout rate in 183 plate appearances) on the depth chart.

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.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.
