Elias Diaz Reinstated And Starting On Sunday
5 months agoThe Colorado Rockies announced on Sunday that they reinstated catcher Elias Diaz (calf) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Elehuris Montero for assignment in a corresponding move. Diaz will serve as the designated hitter and will bat fifth for the Rockies for Sunday's series finale against the hosting Chicago White Sox and left-hander Garrett Crochet. It's not the greatest matchup for Diaz's return against Crochet, but the 33-year-old backstop has pretty much been a must-start in single-year fantasy leagues in 2024 with a .303/.352/.439 slash line in 198 at-bats. With Diaz back, Jacob Stallings will fall back into backup duties behind the plate, although he's making another start at catcher on Sunday. Montero heads to the farm after hitting just .206 (46-for-223) with four homers and 28 RBI on the year.
