Tigers' Isan Diaz: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
With Javier Baez (bereavement) away from the team, Diaz will come up from the minors to fill Baez's roster spot. The 27-year-old infielder is just 1-for-19 across six games in the majors this season, and he is unlikely to draw many starts for Detroit while Baez is out.

Tigers' Isan Diaz: Claimed off waivers and optioned
Rotowire
The Tigers claimed Diaz off waivers from the Giants on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo.
Diaz appeared in just six big-league games with the Giants this season, but he should have a clearer path to resurfacing in the majors with a Detroit squad that has struggled to generate production from most of its starting infielders throughout the season. He'll look to get off to a good start with Toledo before potentially getting the call to Detroit at some point in the next two months. In a corresponding move, the Tigers designated left-hander Zach Logue for assignment.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Sent down Saturday
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Diaz to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Thairo Estrada's return from a hand injury will bump Diaz from the active roster. Once a highly touted prospect, Diaz fizzled out in Miami and has gone just 1-for-19 across two stints with San Francisco this season. He could be a DFA candidate later this year.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Diaz from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
With Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) headed to the injured list, Diaz will come up from the minors to give the Giants another bat on their bench. Diaz is slashing .250/.337/.511 across 104 plate appearances in the minors, but has had very limited success throughout his career in the big leagues.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Diaz to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
The demotion of Diaz opens up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Wilmer Flores (foot), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday in a corresponding move. During his brief stay with San Francisco, Diaz appeared in two games and went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Recalled from Sacramento
Rotowire
Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday by the Giants, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Diaz will make the start at second base for the Giants on Friday versus the Diamondbacks. The one-time prospect is now 27 and has struggled in the major leagues with a career .562 OPS over exactly 500 plate appearances. The Giants will announce a corresponding transaction prior to Friday's game.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Debuts at Triple-A
Rotowire
Diaz (hamstring) was reinstated from Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday and has gone 3-for-8 with two home runs, three RBI and an additional run in his first two games of the season.
Diaz had been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring strain that was apparently severe. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a beat in his return to the Triple-A lineup and retains a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ranked near the top of the list for a promotion the next time San Francisco requires an extra infielder.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Opens season on shelf
Rotowire
Triple-A Sacramento placed Diaz (hamstring) on its 7-day injured list Friday.
Diaz will be sidelined to begin the minor-league season due to the hamstring injury he picked up in a March 13 Cactus League game. The 26-year-old infielder possesses a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster and could be an option for the big club at some point later in the 2023 campaign.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Exits game with tight hamstring
Rotowire
Diaz was lifted from Monday's Cactus League game against the Padres due to slight hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
It's not clear exactly how Diaz sustained the injury, but it appears to be a relatively minor issue. Still, anything involving the hamstring could take multiple days to get over, so expect the Giants to proceed cautiously. Diaz is competing for a reserve infielder job, and any prolonged absence will hinder his chances of making the Opening Day roster.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Optioned to Triple-A level
Rotowire
Diaz (hamstring) was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Diaz came down with a bit of hamstring tightness earlier this week, but he was already on the outside looking in for an Opening Day roster spot in San Francisco. The 26-year-old will serve as organizational infield depth for the Giants in 2023.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Contract selected by Giants
Rotowire
Diaz's contract was selected by the Giants on Wednesday.
Diaz was traded from the Marlins to the Giants in late April, and he slashed .275/.377/.574 with 23 home runs, 61 RBI, 60 runs and seven stolen bases over 83 games at Triple-A Sacramento last year. He'll likely be in the mix for a big-league roster spot during spring training in 2023.

Giants' Isan Diaz: Traded to Giants
Rotowire
Diaz was traded to the Giants from the Marlins on Saturday for a player to be named or cash considerations, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Diaz remained in the Marlins' minor-league system for a little over a month after being designated for assignment in late March, but that will be the extent of his time with the club. Diaz has appeared in 145 big-league games, but he has posted just a.185 batting average and .562 OPS. He is still 25 and was once a top-100 prospect, so the Giants could give him another shot at the top level at some point.

Marlins' Isan Diaz: Returns from IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Jacksonville activated Diaz (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Diaz, who was outrighted to Jacksonville on March 29 after clearing waivers, made his debut for the affiliate a week later but has since been sidelined for the past two and a half weeks. After he made a pair of rehab appearances at Single-A Jupiter, Diaz looks prepared to reclaim an everyday role for Jacksonville.

Marlins' Isan Diaz: Cast off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday.
Diaz was dropped from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler, whose three-year contract with the Marlins became official Tuesday. A prominent member of the Marlins' return haul in the January 2018 deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee, Diaz never emerged as the core contributor in the middle infield that Miami envisioned. Over 500 plate appearances with the Marlins across parts of the past three seasons, Diaz slashed .185/.275/.287 with nine home runs, 45 runs and 41 RBI while striking out 27.8 percent of the time.
Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Diaz has recently been operating as Miami's everyday third baseman, but he'll head back to the minors despite going 7-for-20 with four walks and two runs in his past eight contests. Eddy Alvarez and Joe Panik should split time at the hot corner for the Marlins.

Marlins' Isan Diaz: Sitting Sunday
Rotowire
Diaz will be on the bench for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Diaz had started six straight games at third base, but he's now been on the bench for two in a row. His .192/.288/.284 slash line in 265 plate appearances this season doesn't make a strong case for regular at-bats. Eddy Alvarez will make his second straight start at the hot corner Sunday.
