Elias Diaz pulls ahead in Padres catcher battle

Fantasy Impact:

Díaz, 3-for-18 with five strikeouts this spring, edges Luis Campusano (2-for-16), Brett Sullivan (2-for-15), and Martin Maldonado (0-for-13)—post-Higashioka, his late-2024 4-for-21 stint and defensive rep could nab Opening Day, though Ethan Salas looms long-term; it’s shaky still. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can slot him as a C2 gamble; his glove might hold, but the bat’s a coin flip.
