Diaz is batting eighth and catching Wednesday against the Orioles.

With Francisco Cervelli (concussion) landing on the disabled list, Diaz seems to be in line for most of the innings behind the plate for the foreseeable future. Although the Pirates called up Jacob Stallings from the minors to provide depth, Diaz's 6-for-20 performance thus far this season along with his status as the team's catcher of the future should afford him ample opportunities to show the club how well he can perform in a full-time role.
