In Venezuela, Elias Diaz left Tuesday night's game with a back injury that occurred during the sixth inning while he was batting. Diaz was 0-for-2 at the plate before leaving for a pinch-hitter, which happened to be Francisco Diaz, who split catching duties with Diaz in West Virginia during the 2012 season.
Elias Diaz has been limited by the Pirates, who originally allowed him one day of play, followed by an off-day. Last week, they allowed him to start playing two days in a row, followed by an off-day. This could be a setback for him if it's anything serious, since the Pirates will likely be cautious with him after he required two surgeries during the regular season.
