Rest-of-Season Projections
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
Gets rest for day game
Diaz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
He'll get a well-deserved breather Thursday after starting at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Rockies' last nine games. Jacob Stallings will replace Diaz behind the dish.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be trade candidate
The Rockies might listen to trade offers for Diaz this winter, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports.
ANALYSIS
Colorado looks unlikely to compete in 2024, which will be the final season of the three-year, $14.5 million contract extension Diaz signed in November 2021. The 32-year-old catcher earned his first career All-Star nod this past season while posting an overall .725 OPS with 14 homers and 72 RBI in 141 games. There aren't many run-producing catchers on the free-agent market, so the Rockies could get something significant in return if they were to put Diaz on the block.

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.
