Diaz is expected to split time with Chris Stewart while starter Francisco Cervelli (concussion) remains sidelined. "I don't think it's important to designate a starter," manager Clint Hurdle told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "Both guys are going to catch and be used appropriately."
It wouldn't be surprising to see Diaz get the bulk of starts over Stewart, though it sounds as if Hurdle has a plan mapped out. Diaz went hitless in four at-bats Thursday, lowering his batting average to .276.
