2024 Fantasy Outlook
If Diaz could simply only play when the Rockies were playing at home and facing righties, he would be more rosterable. Diaz hit .293 in those situations last season with seven homers and 34 RBI which was an overwhelming amount of his overall volume last season. He did hit .258 on the road, but struggled to hit lefties in any location while receiving the majority of the time behind the dish for Colorado. Diaz is in the final year of his contract with the Rockies and there are few signs the club is interested in re-signing the veteran backstop whose last above-average offensive season came in 2018. The upside with Diaz would be him catching the perfect storm of contract year breakout combined with late catcher career breakout, but both theories require a bit of Jobu's rum to truly believe in them. The best thing we can say about Diaz is that he starts at catcher and can give you 15-ish homers. Everything else is a dart throw given his numbers over the years. Read Past Outlooks

Taking seat Wednesday
Diaz is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Diaz returned to action for Tuesday's 6-0 loss after missing a couple games with a calf issue, but he'll be back on the bench for the Wednesday afternoon contest. Jacob Stallings will start at catcher for the Rockies.

Stat Review
How does Elias Diaz compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2016
Diaz inked a three-year, $14.5 million extension with Colorado after he hit 18 home runs with a .774 OPS in 2021, but he was unable to build on that success last season. The 32-year-old had a .228/.281/.368 slash line with nine homers in 105 games during 2022, and his defense also took a major step back with minus-15 DRS. Brian Serven made his MLB debut but didn't impress offensively with a 52 wRC+, but he provided strong work behind the plate. Diaz should open 2023 with a slight edge for playing time, but his playing time is hardly secure given last season's production, and his fantasy outlook is similarly trending in the wrong direction.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Likely to be dealt
The Rockies are "listening" on trade offers for Diaz after extension talks stalled, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Heyman believes there's a strong likelihood that Diaz gets traded, giving 5-to-1 odds in favor of the veteran backstop being moved. The 33-year-old's .286 batting average in 2024 would tie his career high, but his .733 OPS is only marginally better than last year's figure. Still, Diaz would represent an upgrade at catcher for a number of teams pushing for playoff spots, and Colorado has little incentive to hold onto his expiring contract.
