April 20, 2025 4:11 PM : Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Diaz started the previous five games and will get a day off after going 4-for-20 with a double, an RBI and a run during that stretch. Victor Caratini will take over behind the plate to catch for lefty Framber Valdez in the series finale versus San Diego.
