Newsbreakers
September 28, 2008
Matt Diaz spent the past four months recovering from a torn PCL in his left knee and the team awarded him a start in left field in the season finale today, according to MLB.com. He said, "I'm excited to play. I'm going to go out there and treat it like it's the last game I'll ever play. I'm kind of mumbling now because I'm so excited. I feel like I'm a 10-year-old again and getting a chance to play."

Our View:This marks his first appearance with the club since May 27 due to the injury. Diaz, who is arbitration-eligible, hopes to be back with Atlanta in 2009.
September 24, 2008
MLB.com reports that Matt Diaz was activated from the 60-day disabled left as his left knee was deemed ready for action. But because he hasn't seen live pitching in more than two months, it's unclear how much he'll play during the final days of this season.

Our View:Since injuring the knee, Diaz has played just four Minor League rehab games, and the most recent was on August 12. He is not likely to provide a fantasy punch in the last week of the season. Diaz is arbitration-eligible at the end of the season but it appears Atlanta will re-sign the outfielder.
August 21, 2008
Matt Diaz will not need surgery for his reinjured right knee, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But he will need to spend another four weeks rehabbing and strengthening the knee.

Our View:Diaz is not worth keeping as a fantasy outfielde.
August 15, 2008
Matt Diaz was forced out of Wednesday's rehab game at Triple-A Richmond with pain in his left knee, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is trying to return from a torn ligament in his left knee.

Our View:He is back in Atlanta for evaluation. This is the second setback he has suffered during his rehab, and it is looking less likely he will return to the Braves' outfield this season.
August 11, 2008
Matt Diaz, who is recovering from a torn ligament in his left knee, is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Richmond, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Our View:Barring a setback, he could return to Atlanta before the end of August. He will only be worth holding in larger NL-only leagues, as he will be a part-time starter.
