Diaz signed a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Diaz took a massive step in the wrong direction this past season, going from recording 28 saves with the Reds in 2024 to finishing the 2025 campaign with an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 17.2 innings in the big leagues. He'll get another chance to turn things around with the Rangers, though he'll likely need to display some consistency before the team considers using him in high-leverage situations regularly.

Diaz elected to become a free agent Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Diaz had been booted off Atlanta's 40-man roster, and he will exercise his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The former closer held an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 17.2 innings at the big-league level in 2025 and might have to accept a minor-league contract this offseason.

Diaz cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett. Diaz bounced between the Reds, Dodgers and Atlanta in 2025, finishing the regular season with an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP through 17.2 MLB innings. Despite his 75 career saves, he'll likely need to prove himself in the minors next season before getting another shot in the big leagues.

Atlanta optioned Diaz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. Diaz has made three relief appearances after being claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Sept. 7, yielding four runs (three earned) with a 5:5 K:BB. The former Reds closer holds an 8.18 ERA over 18 relief outings in the big leagues this season.

Atlanta claimed Diaz off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Thursday, and it's not a surprise he was claimed off waivers, given his previous success in the majors. Diaz has struggled to a 7.80 ERA in 15 outings in the big leagues with the Dodgers and Reds this season, and he hasn't been much better at the Triple-A level with a 6.08 ERA. He will report to the major-league club.
