Diaz will start behind the plate and bat fifth Thursday in Milwaukee.

With Francisco Cervelli back on the DL with concussion-like symptoms, Diaz figures to see an increase in playing time. The catcher is hitting .302 in 53 at-bats. Although that number figures to drop in a larger sample size, Diaz has shown that he can hit around .280 or so in the upper minor-league levels.
