Isan Díaz Stats

The San Francisco Giants have acquired second baseman Isan Diaz from the Marlins for cash considerations or a player to be named later. The 25-year-old has struggled to make an impact at the big-league level by batting a paltry .185 with nine homers through 145 games with Miami after showing some promise in the minor leagues during the 2018-19 seasons. Diaz is yet to make an appearance in the majors in 2022, and should stay off fantasy watchlists since he'll mainly serve as a depth piece in the Giants organization.

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz was designated for assignment on Tuesday to make room for the newly signed Jorge Soler. Diaz was getting a lot of spring playing time, leading some Marlins fans to believe the Marlins were going to give him yet another chance to play this season despite his career .185/.275/.287 line across 145 big league games. One of the prospects acquired in the Christian Yelich trade, Diaz proved to be a liability at the plate, on the field, and on the bases. He'll likely clear waivers and remain in the Marlins organization.

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz continued his season-long struggles in Thursday's game against the New York Mets. Diaz has played second and third base, both poorly, while hitting .187 with a .573 OPS. Those numbers are despite a recent hot streak. Diaz has seemingly played all season, but he did spend some time in Triple-A, where he also struggled. At some point, it may come time for the Marlins to admit that Diaz just cannot hit major league pitching. Right now, his only tool is a good eye, as he's drawn 34 walks in 239 plate appearances. His swing still has a ton of holes in it, and his BABIP (.252) is only slightly below league average, meaning his poor results haven't just been bad luck. He also seems to make nightly base running mistakes. Assuming the Marlins truly do try to improve this offseason in order to compete next year, these could be Diaz's last major league games.
