    • Elias Díaz out again Tuesday against Twins
      Elias Díaz (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

      Advice: Díaz left Monday’s game with tightness in his left calf, and he’ll miss at least one more game while recovering. Jacob Stallings will be the starting backstop and hit fifth with Díaz on the bench. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
       
    • Held out Tuesday
      Diaz (calf) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

      Advice: Diaz tweaked his left calf in Monday's loss to the Twins and the expectation is that he won't be available for the remainder of the series. Jacob Stallings will do the catching Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
       
    • Likely out for Minnesota series
      Rockies manager Bud Black suggested after Monday's 5-0 loss to the Twins that Diaz will likely miss the remaining two games of the series in Minnesota due to a strained left calf, MLB.com reports. "It's right in the belly of the calf, so we'll see," Black said of the injury Diaz suffered in the first inning of Monday's game. "He's been feeling it for a couple weeks. He's been able to manage it and [in Monday's game], I think just on that particular ground ball, out of the box, it got him. We'll see in a couple of days. Keith [Duggar, the team's head athletic trainer] wants to treat it for a day or two and see where we are."

      Advice: Diaz was lifted from the game in the bottom of the first after he strained his calf while running out a groundball in his first at-bat of the night in the top of the frame. Jacob Stallings came on to replace Diaz and will presumably start behind the plate for the final two games in Minnesota, and Stallings could be headed for an extended run as the Rockies' No. 1 catcher if Diaz requires a stint on the injured list. Diaz will presumably be re-examined Thursday when the Rockies return to Colorado before the team makes a decision on his availability heading into this weekend's series versus the Pirates. Diaz has been one of the few bright spots for the Rockies this season, batting .303 with five home runs, 28 RBI and 20 runs in 55 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:44 am
       
    • Nursing calf issue
      Diaz left Monday's game against the Twins due to a left calf injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Diaz is likely undergoing additional testing to uncover the extent of the calf injury. Jacob Stallings and Hunter Goodman would share time behind the plate if it's determined Diaz requires an extended absence, though it's still too early to know if he'll be placed on the injured list.

    • Elias Díaz out with left calf tightness
      Elias Díaz left Monday’s game with a tight left calf, according to the Rockies.

      Advice: This didn’t really use to be a thing, but teams these days just love calling the initial injury “tightness” before admitting to a strain (or sometimes even worse) the next day. Jacob Stallings is filling in for Díaz. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:25 pm
       
    • Sheds crutches
      Tucker (lower leg) is no longer using crutches and remains hopeful for a Friday return, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: As Rome points out, Tucker has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, but the team is optimistic about his chances of being activated after missing the 10-day minimum. Houston should have a better idea of an exact return date for Tucker later in the week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:10 pm

    • Kyle Tucker (shin) off crutches, aiming for Friday
      Kyle Tucker is off crutches as he deals with his right shin contusion, and the Astros believe there’s a chance he’ll return from the IL when eligible on Friday.

      Advice: No rehab stint here. Tucker hasn’t done any running yet, but he should need only one good day on the field before rejoining Houston’s lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:03 pm

    • Exits early Monday
      Diaz (undisclosed) was removed from Monday's contest against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Diaz pulled up lame on a groundout in the top of the first inning, being replaced at catcher by Jacob Stallings prior to the bottom of the frame. The team will likely provide an update to Diaz's status following Monday's series opener. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:58 pm
       
    • Elias Díaz exits game due to leg injury
      Elias Díaz left Monday’s game in the first inning with an apparent leg injury sustained running to first base.

      Advice: This will probably quiet any trade talk for a while. Jacob Stallings, who has been a nice surprise in limited action this year, took over behind the plate against the Twins. If Díaz goes on the IL, the Rockies could call up another catcher, but they wouldn’t necessarily need to with Hunter Goodman capable of serving as a backup. They don’t have any other catchers on the 40-man roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:57 pm
