Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Key knock in season-opening win
Diaz went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead RBI single and a walk in the Athletics' win over the Angels on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Diaz and Seth Brown were the only two players with multiple hits for the Athletics in the pitchers' duel, and the former got on a team-high three times overall. Diaz's eighth-inning single snapped a 1-1 tie, plating Tony Kemp with what turned out to be the winning run. The veteran drew the start at shortstop Thursday, but he's projected to see time at second base and third base as well over the course of the season.

How does Aledmys Diaz compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Outside of injuries, Aledmys Díaz hardly garnered a full-time role with the Astros. In 2021, Díaz finished with eight home runs, 28 runs, and 45 RBI with a .259 batting average. As a right-handed hitter, Díaz interestingly performed better throughout this career with a .282 batting average and 47 of his career 62 home runs versus righties. Díaz's line drive rate improved to a career-high 23.7% in 2021 versus a career rate of 18.1%. He doesn't stand out from the batted ball metrics, evidenced by a 6.5% barrel rate and 110 mph maximum exit velocity. Although Carlos Correa sits as a free agent, Díaz likely battles for playing time in a platoon-type role with the only open spot at shortstop. Díaz probably isn't worth drafting in 15-team mixed leagues, but more of an AL-only league target.

Continues battle with Allen
Although Diaz continues in a heated competition with Nick Allen for the starting shortstop role, the veteran's ability to play multiple positions should help him garner a near-everyday role irrespective of how the job battle shakes out, Steve Stockmar of MLB.com reports. "You could see Diaz at shortstop. That's kind of been a trend this Spring Training. That's not set in stone," manager Mark Kotsay said. "Aledmys can play in left, we have the opportunity to DH as well. So there's a ton of combinations that we can put together that we feel good about."
