Diaz went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and six RBI against the Mets on Friday.

A last-minute replacement for starter Francisco Cervelli (illness), Diaz smacked both a three-run double and three-run dinger. He's better known for defense, but his offense has improved over his last several seasons of minor-league play. Although he's stuck behind Cervelli and Chris Stewart on the depth chart, his stock is on the rise and he figures to see a tick up in playing time, especially with Stewart on the disabled list. Diaz remains the team's long-range catcher of the future.
