Rotowire
Diaz was reinstated from the restricted list and sent to High-A Inland Empire on Thursday.
Diaz failed to show up to spring training because of visa issues and was subsequently placed on the restricted list by the Angels in late March. The right-hander will look to build his arm up in the minors after he appeared in 10 games for the Astros last season.

Angels' Dayan Diaz: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Diaz never took the hill in Cactus League play after visa issues delayed his arrival to spring training. It probably didn't dramatically affect his chances of winning a bullpen role with the big club, as the 29-year-old was always expected to report to the Pacific Coast League to begin the season. Diaz has struggled mightily across 16 career major-league appearances to date, submitting a 9.15 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 19.2 innings.

Angels' Dayan Diaz: Facing visa issues
Rotowire
Diaz has yet to report to spring camp due to issues with his visa, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Manager Mike Scioscia was unable to provide any additional information on when Diaz may make it to camp. The 29-year-old is on the Angels' 40-man roster but has allowed 23 runs (20 earned), 27 hits and 11 walks over 19.2 innings in brief big-league stints with the Reds and Astros during the past two seasons. Diaz's major sticking point is the 13.9 K/9 rate he posted with Houston in 2017.

Rotowire
Diaz was claimed off waivers by the Angels on Monday.
With the minor-league season coming to a close, Diaz was sent to the Angels' rookie-level team to get a few appearances under his belt before he likely joins the big club.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Unable to join Astros
Rotowire
Diaz was incorrectly recalled by the team prior to Saturday's game and needs to wait 10 days after being optioned to come back to the Astros, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Diaz will be unable to help the Astros on Saturday after the club made an error trying to regain his services. Reymin Guduan, who was optioned in a corresponding move, will still head to Triple-A Fresno since the team cannot reverse the move. Since Diaz was optioned on June 23, he still has a few days before he is allowed to come back to the major-league team.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Called back to majors
Rotowire
Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Saturday.
Diaz was summoned back to the big club to replace a struggling Reymin Guduan in the bullpen. The 28-year-old has a shiny 2.16 ERA across 25 innings with Fresno this season, but he hasn't been able to find similar success in the majors, as he owns a 12.00 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in nine major-league innings in 2017. He does have 16 strikeouts over that span, however.

Rotowire
Diaz will be with the Astros on Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With David Paulino receiving an 80-game suspension due to a performance-enhancing substance, Diaz will now be able to join the team prior to Saturday's game with the Yankees.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Optioned to Triple-A Fresno
Rotowire
Diaz was sent back down to Triple-A Fresno on Friday, Julia Morales of ROOT Sports reports.
Diaz spent a few weeks with Houston but delivered a poor outing Thursday, which likely led to his demotion. The right-hander allowed five earned runs off three hits and two walks while only recording a single out against the A's. In his place, the team recalled left-hander Reymin Guduan from Fresno.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Lasts just 2.2 innings in surprise start
Rotowire
Diaz (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits while striking out three batters over 2.2 innings during Wednesday's loss to Kansas City.
Dallas Keuchel was a late scratch because of an illness, so Houston turned to Diaz on short notice. It was the first start of the year at any level for Diaz, and he matched his season-high 2.2 innings in Wednesday's outing. The 28-year-old reliever is unlikely to be scheduled to make another start in the immediate future.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Recalled from Fresno
Rotowire
Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Diaz has only appeared in one major-league game this season, giving up two earned runs in 0.2 innings against the Yankees in May. The 28-year-old will come out of the bullpen, and replaces Reymin Guduan on the team. With the strength of the Astros bullpen in full effect, Diaz likely will not throw any meaningful innings at the big league level.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Diaz will start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Julia Morales of Root Sports Southwest reports.
With Dallas Keuchel unable to start due to an illness, Diaz will make his first major-league start in his place. He hasn't thrown more than 2.2 innings or 49 pitches in any outing this season, so he likely won't go very deep. He compiled a 1.93 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 23.1 innings with Triple-A Fresno this season.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Shuttled back to minors
Rotowire
Diaz was optioned back to Triple-A Fresno on Monday.
Diaz was sent back to Fresno after just two days -- and no appearances -- with the big-league club. The 28-year-old owns a 2.19 ERA with 15 strikeouts across 12.1 innings with Fresno this season, and while he could earn another promotion to the big club, the Astros' bullpen depth will likely keep him from tossing many meaningful innings in 2017.

Astros' Dayan Diaz: Will join big-league club
Rotowire
The Astros will call up Diaz on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander probably will serve as depth, but the Astros may make their plans for Diaz clear in the coming days. He competed for the last bullpen spot late in spring training, but lost to James Hoyt and Jandel Gustave. Diaz sports a crisp 2.19 ERA with 15 strikeouts and three walks in 12.1 innings (nine appearances) for Triple-A Fresno.
