Elias Diaz sitting for Rockies Wednesday afternoon

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Andrew Abbott and the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Austin Wynns will catch for Connor Seabold and bat eighth. Randal Grichuk will move into the cleanup spot in place of Diaz.

numberFire’s models project Wynns ($2,000) for 6.9 and Grichuk ($2,900) for 9.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total is 3.72 while the game total is 9.0. Abbott hasn't allowed a run through his first three MLB starts, but he has a 46.0% hard-hit rate, 16.9% strikeout rate, and 12.7% walk rate, so the runs are due.
