Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Diaz's first season with the A's was a forgettable one, as he posted a career-worst .617 OPS in 109 games. He hit just four home runs with 24 RBI, 25 runs and one stolen base, though he did play at all four infield positions plus the outfield. However, his only positions with at least 15 appearances were shortstop and third base, so depending on the league he may only have dual-position eligibility. Even with a rebound toward his career .261/.314/.429 slash line, Diaz has a low fantasy ceiling with the offense around him unlikely to provide many opportunities for run production. He's also not guaranteed playing time, with the A's likely only hoping he turns things around in order to flip him at the trade deadline. Read Past Outlooks
Released by Astros
The Astros released Diaz on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Roughly a month after reuniting with Houston, Diaz will now be let go in order to make room for Shay Whitcomb, who was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The 34-year-old Diaz appeared in only two games while with the Astros, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He'll now presumably look to latch on with another organization on a minor-league deal.

Diaz has enjoyed the perfect fit for his offensive abilities the past few seasons even though he has functioned in a reserve role nearly his entire stint with Houston. The versatile utility player may be getting a surprise late-career playing time bump after getting a two-year deal with Oakland, which has perhaps the least-talented 40-man roster in the league. While he may be getting a boosted role, it comes with a massive downgrade in home park factors for a right-handed hitter. He can still hit the ball hard and has the athleticism to pretty much do anything but catch in a pinch throughout a game. There's nothing glamorous about Diaz, but his role and lineup placement should lead to him being viable in AL-only leagues and as a deep-league streamer for those chasing plate appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Red Sox
Diaz could be a potential trade target for the Red Sox, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Boston's infielders have struggled mightily on the whole this season, and McAdam says the club is "asking around" for help in that area, preferably with the target able to play both middle infield spots. Diaz qualifies, although he's struggled at the plate himself this season with a .203/.263/.261 slash line and one homer. The 32-year-old is also owed $8 million in 2024, so Oakland may not want much in return to get out from under that contract.
