Elias Diaz Returns To Rockies Lineup Monday
2 years agoColorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz (head) is back behind the plate and is hitting cleanup on Monday against the Boston Red Sox and left-hander James Paxton. Diaz was removed from Saturday's game early after taking a foul tip to the mask and he sat out of Sunday's series finale, but he'll be back in there on Monday after avoiding a concussion. The 32-year-old Venezuelan backstop has been excellent offensively for the Rockies and fantasy managers so far in 2023, hitting .294 (58-for-197) with 13 doubles, six home runs, 29 RBI and 22 runs scored in 57 games played. Diaz has cooled off so far in June, though, going 4-for-29 (.138) with two doubles, no homers, two RBI and eight strikeouts in 31 trips to the plate over eight games. Fantasy managers hope he can get back on track to begin the week.
