Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
On May 9, 2023, Diaz clubbed three home runs in a game as the Athletics lost to the Yankees. He was just 22 at the time and had mashed in the minors the previous few years, so there was reason to believe Diaz could just be getting started. Instead, the now 24-year-old posted a .593 OPS the rest of the way that year before spending all of 2024 in the minors and being removed from the 40-man roster. Diaz did slash .301/.362/.529 at Triple-A Las Vegas last season, but, given the very favorable offensive environment and the fact it was his third stint there, the numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. With his future stateside appearing cloudy at best, Diaz elected to continue his career in Japan and signed with the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball in January. Read Past Outlooks
Signs with Japanese team
Diaz signed a contract with the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Diaz put together a solid 2024 at Triple-A Las Vegas, slashing .301/.362/.529 with 22 homers and 85 RBI across 436 plate appearances. Rather than spend another season in the Athletics' farm system, the 24-year-old infielder will look to further his career overseas, though a return to the States may still be possible if his stock improves while in Japan.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Diaz was called up by Oakland in mid-April and had a .656 OPS in 24 games before being demoted a month later, and he then rejoined the A's in late June. The 23-year-old didn't perform any better the rest of the way with a .222/.281/.350 slash line over 66 contests. He was a decent defender at second base but saw more of his time at the hot corner (38 appearances), where he struggled with negative-11 DRS. Diaz had an .857 OPS at Triple-A during his monthlong stint on the farm and has little else to prove in the minors, but his .225 xBA and .369 xSLG don't paint a rosy picture. He'll likely need to show some improvements early in 2024 in order to retain a spot on the big-league roster given his 79 wRC+ through 105 MLB games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Off to hot start
Diaz is 10-for-27 in his first nine starts for the Athletics since being called up September 18.
ANALYSIS
Diaz has been given the chance to play every day and has made the most of the opportunity, producing a .370/.393/.444 slash line and recording a hit in seven of his nine games. The 22-year-old has yet to hit a homer in the majors but showed his power between Double-A and Triple-A this year by knocking 19 long balls in 120 games and compiling a .515 SLG. He'll have the last six days of the season to continue making his case to be on the 2023 Opening Day roster.
