Padres' Elias Diaz: Sitting Monday

Diaz is not in the Padres' starting lineup against the Cubs on Monday.

Diaz will be on the bench Monday while Martin Maldonado serves behind home plate and bats ninth against Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon. Diaz has gone 4-for-16 with four walks, two runs scored and two RBI over his last five starts.
