Lewin Díaz News
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Lewin Diaz passed through waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk. Diaz has had a tumultuous offseason to say the least, after originally being designated for assignment on Nov. 15 of last year by the Miami Marlins. Since then, he was claimed by the Pirates on Nov. 22, DFA'd by the Pirates on Nov. 30, claimed by the Orioles on Dec. 2, DFA'd by the Orioles on Dec. 21, traded to the Braves on Dec. 23, DFA'd by the Braves on Dec. 28, claimed by the O's on Jan. 5 and now outrighted back to the minors. For now, the 26-year-old left-handed hitter will stick with Baltimore after he hit .169 with five home runs, 11 RBI and 54 strikeouts in 174 plate appearances in his third MLB season with Miami in 2022. Diaz will represent first base depth in Baltimore if he sticks with the organization.
The Baltimore Orioles claimed first baseman Lewin Diaz off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday and designated first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn for assignment in a corresponding move. Diaz continues to get passed around multiple MLB clubs this offseason, but he'll make a return to Baltimore for now. The 26-year-old left-handed-hitting first baseman played in a career-high 58 games for the Miami Marlins in 2022 in his third major-league season and really struggled, hitting .169/.224/.288 with a .512 OPS, five home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base in 174 plate appearances. If he sticks with Baltimore heading into spring training, he'll be hoping to turn heads, but he's likely to begin the year at Triple-A Norfolk.
The Atlanta Braves designated infielder Lewin Diaz for assignment on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Lucas Luetge, who was acquired in a trade from the New York Yankees. The Braves sent right-hander Indigo Diaz and infielder Caleb Durbin to the Yanks. It's been a tumultuous offseason for Diaz, who has been with four teams already. The 26-year-old left-handed hitter played in 58 games for the Miami Marlins in 2022 and hit just .169/.224/.288 with five home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a stolen base and 54 strikeouts in 174 plate appearances. He could be claimed off waivers yet again, but wherever he ends up, he's likely to begin next season on the farm as infield depth.
