Elias Diaz News: On bench Saturday

Published on April 12, 2025

Diaz is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Rockies on Saturday.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's series opener, but he'll begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Martin Maldonado will serve behind home plate and bat ninth against Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander.
