Diaz isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

9h agoRotowire

Diaz will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Danny Jansen will replace him at catcher and bat eighth.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Red Sox.

2d agoRotowire

Diaz had started four straight games (two at catcher, two at designated hitter), but he'll begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. Danny Jansen will do the catching for the Rangers.

Diaz served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

3d agoRotowire

Diaz delivered a pair of runs with a second-inning double to kick off a four-run inning for the Rangers. The catcher has been productive in September and could see more opportunities at DH as the Rangers compete for a postseason berth. Diaz has an .805 OPS with nine RBI over 11 games this month.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

1w agoRotowire

Diaz logged his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 30 in Milwaukee. The catcher continues to get a decent share of playing time behind the dish in the starting role ahead of Danny Jansen. Between Texas and Kansas City this year, Diaz is batting .240 with a .677 OPS, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 19 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 80 games.

Diaz is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against Arizona.

1w agoRotowire

Diaz will sit out for Friday's series opener against Arizona as he misses his second consecutive game. Danny Jansen will once again fill in behind the plate and bat ninth for Texas.
