The Colorado Rockies placed closer Elias Diaz on waivers Wednesday afternoon, according to a report.
Diaz is eligible to play while he\'s on waivers, but the Rockies have an off day on Thursday.
The Rockies cannot retract the placement if another team makes a claim. If he goes unclaimed, Colorado could simply retain him on the MLB roster for the last six weeks of the season.
The Rockies reportedly expressed openness to moving Diaz before the trade deadline.
