Miami hosts Colorado following Lopez's strong performance
Miami looks to follow up a strong outing by Tuesday starter Pablo LopezJUNE 9, 2021 • Associated Press
Hits bench Tuesday Daza is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Unless he's used in a pinch-hitting capacity, Daza will put his eight-game hitting streak on hold Tuesday. Daza had started in the last seven of those games, but Garrett Hampson will spell him in center field in the series opener. Colorado is expected to get Trevor Story (shoulder) back from the injured list this week, and his return will leave fewer reps available for Hampson at shortstop. If the Rockies decide to use Hampson more regularly in center field, Daza will lose out on some playing time, though he's made a strong case for himself with a .331 batting average across 153 plate appearances.

Work in CF picking up Daza will start in center field and bat second Wednesday against the Rangers, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
Impact Daza appears to be encroaching on Garrett Hampson's role as the Rockies' primary center fielder. Hampson -- who was on the bench for the previous three games -- will fill in for Brendan Rodgers at shortstop on Wednesday, paving the way for Daza to pick up his fourth consecutive start in center. Daza has reached base in nine of his 13 plate appearances over the past three contests, so he could continue to receive steady work while he's swinging a hot bat.

On bench Tuesday Daza is not starting Tuesday against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Impact Daza hits the bench after starting six straight games. Coors Field is undoubtedly part of the reason why he's hitting .326 so far this season, but the field isn't going away anytime soon, so he should remain useful to fantasy teams in at least one category as long as he remains in a regular role. He deserves a fair amount of the credit for his high average as well, as he's striking out just 13.3 percent of the time. Sam Hilliard gets the start in center field in his absence.

Making third straight start Daza will start for the third straight game in center field Saturday against the Phillies.
Impact The Rockies will again move Garrett Hampson in to second base, pushing Ryan McMahon to third and Josh Fuentes to the bench. Anyone with a regular role who plays half their games at Coors Field is at least somewhat interesting for fantasy purposes, and Daza has made good contact thus far, hitting .344 through 33 plate appearances. He was never a particularly exciting prospect, but he runs well and makes enough contact to give him some fantasy appeal if he keeps his job.
