YONATHAN DAZA NEWS

Delivers as pinch hitter Daza went 1-for-1 with a double, four RBI and a run scored Monday against the Marlins.

Impact Daza wasn't in the starting lineup Monday, but he entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning with the bases loaded. He delivered the winning runs with a bases-clearing double and later provided insurance with a sacrifice fly in the eighth frame. Daza has only five extra-base hits across 115 plate appearances on the campaign, though he has an excellent .359 average and .409 on-base percentage to go along with 13 RBI and 15 runs scored.

Sitting Monday Daza isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's contest versus the Marlins, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Daza has put together a nice five-game hitting streak, going 8-for-22 with a double, an RBI and four runs over those contests. He'll get the day off Monday and Sam Hilliard will start in left field and bat seventh as the Rockies face Pablo Lopez on the mound.

Reaches base three times Daza went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored Thursday against the Nationals.

Impact Daza has had drastic swings in playing time of late, but he should see more work so long as Kris Bryant (back) remains sidelined. He's recorded multiple hits in each of his last two starts, picking up a run scored on each occasion. Daza has reached base at a prolific rate without much power across 98 plate appearances this season, maintaining a .364/.418/.420 line.

Fills in for injured Bryant Daza will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Impact With Kris Bryant (back) returning to the 10-day injured list after appearing in just three games following his recent reinstatement, Daza looks like he'll get another opportunity to play regularly out of the Colorado outfield. The 28-year-old hasn't shown much involvement in the run game after piling up stolen bases during his minor-league career, but his high-contact approach has thus far translated to quality results at the plate. He enters Wednesday with a .350/.404/.400 slash line across 89 plate appearances.

Sits Monday Daza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Daza will take a seat for the second time in three games and looks as though he'll move into more of a fourth-outfield role following Kris Bryant's return from the injured list over the weekend. After the 28-year-old saw a 12-game hitting streak come to an end in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Mets when he appeared as a late-inning defensive replacement but didn't log a plate appearance, Daza went 0-for-3 with a walk in a starting role during Sunday's 2-0 loss in the series finale.

Continues to produce Daza went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Royals.

Impact Daza started his seventh consecutive game and delivered a two-RBI single in the seventh frame. In that seven-game span, he's collected 11 hits across 27 at-bats while driving in five and scoring three runs. Daza is likely to lose playing time with Randal Grichuk back in action, though he should still enter the lineup a few times a week while serving as Colorado's fourth outfielder with Kris Bryant (back) sidelined.

Starts again after three-hit night Daza will start in center field and bat sixth Wednesday against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact After going 3-for-4 with a triple, double and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-2 loss, Daza will stick in the starting nine for the fourth consecutive contests. Three of those starts have come in center field, where he appears to have at least temporarily unseated Randal Grichuk for the everyday role. Daza owns an .843 OPS over 49 plate appearances on the season and should get the opportunity to play regularly while he's wielding a hot bat, but his track record prior to 2022 suggests he won't be able to keep producing at this level.

Knocks in two Daza went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Monday against the Giants.

Impact Daza drew the start in left field and hit second with left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound. He had a rough start to the game, striking out and grounding into a double play in each of his first two plate appearances. However, Daza came through with a two-RBI single in the fifth inning. He's seen a slight uptick in playing time of late, starting five of the team's last eight games and going 6-for-22 with three RBI and three runs scored in that span.

Draws start in center Daza will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Daza will crack the lineup for just the third time all season while the Rockies give Charlie Blackmon the day off. With Randal Grichuk (back) and Kris Bryant (quadriceps) both rejoining the starting nine Sunday after recently dealing with minor injuries, a potential window for Daza to pick up playing time out of the outfield has closed.

APRIL 15, 2022 • Associated Press

Slated to join team Sunday Daza (not injury related) is scheduled to join the Rockies at spring training Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Daza missed the first week of camp due to visa issues and will likely require some time to build up before he's ready to appear in Cactus League games, but it's unlikely that his absence will impact his availability for Opening Day. The 28-year-old's path toward playing time got slightly murkier when the Rockies signed Kris Bryant to play left field, but Daza should still be one of the top fill-in options in the outfield to begin the 2022 campaign.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet at camp Manager Bud Black said Wednesday that Daza isn't yet at camp due to visa issues, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Black isn't yet sure when Daza will be able to join the Rockies for spring training, so it's not clear whether his absence will impact his availability to begin the regular season. The 28-year-old hit .282 with two home runs, 30 RBI and 26 runs across a career-high 107 appearances with the Rockies last year, and he's in line to serve as one of the top backups in the outfield once he joins the team.
