Lewin Díaz News
Miami Marlins rookie first baseman Lewin Diaz hit his first major league home run in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. Diaz came in as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning and turned on a hanging breaking ball, driving it easily into the right center field seats. Diaz has shown impressive power and a solid hit tool in the minors, but he's yet to put it together on a big league field, although he's had very limited opportunities. He's up right now mostly due to injuries and has been on the bench since Jesus Aguilar starts every day at first base. Diaz has the potential to have a bright future ahead, but he's not a fantasy relevant contributor just yet.
Miami Marlins rookie first baseman Lewin Diaz was called up before Thursday's game and will get the start, playing first base and batting fifth. With Garrett Cooper (oblique) dealing with an injury that could keep him out for a couple more games, the Marlins needed some depth in the infield. Starting pitcher Nick Neidert (biceps) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move. Diaz has some nice long-term upside, but didn't hit at all in 14 big league games last year and was off to a bit of a slow start at Triple-A this year.
Miami Marlins rookie first baseman Lewin Diaz was optioned to Triple-A on Monday. Diaz looks to be in the plans as the Marlins first baseman of the future, but he clearly wasn't ready to compete at the highest level last season In 41 plate appearances, he hit just .154/.195/.205. He struggled at the Double-A level in the Marlins system in 2019, but was outstanding at that same level in the Twins organization before being traded to the fish. Diaz is someone to keep an eye on in deeper leagues and leagues with minor league spots, but he doesn't need to be rostered outside of the deepest developmental leagues for now.
