Rockies' Jacob Stallings: Filling in for resting Diaz
Jacob Stallings will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.Stallings will pick up his third start in four games, but his playing time is set to take a hit now that top backstop Elias Diaz has shaken the calf injury that kept him out of the lineup Sunday and Monday.
