Elias Diaz sitting Wednesday afternoon for Rockies
Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Seth Lugo and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Diaz will sit for the day game after he caught the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a double, an RBI, 2 walks, and 2 runs scored. Austin Wynns will catch for Chase Anderson and bat ninth in Wednesday's finale.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total is 3.34, fourth-lowest on the board, and the game total is 8.5. Lugo has an elite walk rate this season (5.7%), but he gives up a lot of hard hits (44.0%) and has a middling strikeout rate (23.1%).
