Assists twice in win Diaz made two assists, had one off-target shot, created three chances and drew six fouls during Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC.

Impact Diaz made his fifth consecutive start and was a constant threat from the right flank, making two assists in a seven-minute span during the first half, being involved on the play that led to Lucas Zelarayan's game-winner in the 75th minute and making life difficult for defenders with his combination of speed and skill. This was arguably the best performance of the campaign for the winger, who will try to keep it up during next Saturday's visit to Colorado.

Records brace of assists off bench Diaz subbed into Saturday's match against the Fire at halftime, and he assisted two goals and made an interception in the 3-2 victory.

Impact Diaz was a difference-maker off the bench, setting up the equalizing and winning goals for Derrick Etienne and Cucho Hernandez on Saturday as his side turned a 2-0 deficit into a victory over Chicago. He has started in just two MLS matches this season, but he is making a case to become more involved in the squad.

On bench despite hand Diaz (hand) is on the bench for Saturday's match with Charlotte.

Impact Diaz picked up a hand injury earlier in the week. The winger still finds his way back on the bench and should be able to play through the injury if needed, though he hasn't been a consistent starter even when fit.

Six crosses in loss Diaz sent in six inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nashville.

Impact Diaz sent in six poor crosses during Saturday's loss, a disappointing return for the midfielder, who had plenty of chances to create some dangerous chances. Diaz and Columbus as a whole, have been inconsistent to start the campaign. He will hope to bounce back against Philadelphia next time out.

Scores off bench Diaz scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Diaz came off the bench with Vancouver already down to 10 men, and made the most of the chance. The midfielder doesn't figure to be a major fantasy provider, but an early goal to start the season is as good a start as any. He will likely be a fringe play against San Jose next time out.

On bench Saturday Diaz (lower back) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Inter Miami.

Impact Diaz is making his return to the bench after an issue in training cause him to sit out. The midfielder appears finally back to full fitness and will look for some minutes to test his match fitness.

Returns to training Diaz missed Saturday's 3-2 loss to Orlando City but returned during Tuesday's training session, according to Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Diaz has missed three of the last five matches and only made 13 appearances all season, so his fitness would be a welcome gain for a team in need of all the help it can get. Up next is a trip to Inter Miami, and Diaz could get the start if fit and if Derrick Etienne is switched to the left flank.
