Rockies' Elias Diaz: Ends short slump
Diaz went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Friday against the Royals.
Diaz entered the game having gone hitless in each of his last three games -- a span of 11 at-bats. He snapped that brief slump with a leadoff single in the seventh inning before also delivering a two-RBI double one frame later. Diaz has done the majority of his damage at home this season, and he has only four hits with two RBI across 20 at-bats and the first five games of the Rockies' current road trip.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Gets Sunday off
Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Goes deep again
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run Thursday against the Marlins.
Diaz took Braxton Garrett deep in the sixth inning for his sixth homer of the season and second in as many games. He's clearly taken over as the top catcher in Colorado across the first two months of the season, though Diaz was in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday with a southpaw on the mound and Charlie Blackmon on the bench. That could be a continuing path to extra playing time for Diaz, who has maintained an impressive .398 wOBA across 164 plate appearances this year.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Smacks fifth homer
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Marlins.
Diaz smoked a Sandy Alcantara slider 427 feet for a homer. He has clubbed five long balls in 2023, putting him on pace to reach double digits for the third time in his career. The catcher has been one of the most surprising fantasy players of the season, as he is sporting a career-high .913 OPS after never previously topping .800 in a campaign. In addition to the increased pop, Diaz has walked 13 times, as he closes in on a career high of 30 free passes.

The catcher has been one of the best at his position this season, leading all qualified backstops with a .345 batting average through 42 contests.

Rockies' Elias Diaz: Swipes bag Friday
Diaz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Phillies.
Diaz picked up his first steal of the season in the ninth inning after hitting a leadoff single. He's hit safely in six of seven games in May during which he's recorded a plate appearance. The catcher is up to a .330/.385/.468 slash line with three home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles through 34 contests. With Austin Wynns replacing Brian Serven as Colorado's backup catcher, it appears Diaz will have more of a true starting role behind the dish -- he's started two of every three games recently.
