Elias Diaz News: Sitting after three straight starts

Published on July 30, 2025

Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Though he'll take a seat in the series finale, Diaz may have at least temporarily overtaken Martin Maldonado as the Padres' top catcher. Diaz started in each of the Friars' last three games, going 3-for-12 with a double, five RBI and two runs.
