Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

After going 2-for-4 with a run in Oakland's 11-2 win Tuesday night, Diaz will head to the bench as the Athletics conclude their series in Pittsburgh with a day game. Kevin Smith will step in at shortstop Wednesday, and he and Diaz could end up forming a timeshare at the position after incumbent starter Nick Allen was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.
