Miguel Diaz Stats

The Detroit Tigers re-signed right-hander Miguel Diaz, infielder Jermaine Palacios, infielder/outfielder Brendon Davis and catcher Michael Papierski to minor-league deals earlier this week and assigned them to Triple-A Toledo. Diaz is the most noteworthy name of the bunch. He was designated for assignment in the middle of last month and was non-tendered, but he'll remain in the organization as relief depth. The 28-year-old gave up one earned run on one hit while walking two and striking out three in 3 2/3 innings of work at the major-league level in 2022. In 65 innings for Toledo last season, he posted a 4.29 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, seven saves and 69 strikeouts in 58 relief appearances out of the bullpen.

The Detroit Tigers signed free-agent right-hander Miguel Diaz to a minor league contract on Saturday that will pay him $800,000 if he's in the major leagues. Diaz, 27, had his best season in 2021 with the San Diego Padres, posting a 3.64 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while striking out 46 and walking 19 in 25 outings (two starts) over 42 innings pitched. He has a good shot at pitching the big leagues at some point for Detroit, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect any kind of fantasy relevant, high-leverage role in 2022.

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Miguel Diaz will be the opener for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It sounds like it's going to be a bullpen day for the Padres. Diaz has been fantastic out of the bullpen, posting a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 23/10 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings. It's uncertain how long he'll pitch on Saturday, but it probably won't be more than two or three innings. Possibly, Diaz could be a sneaky deep league streaming choice, but won't offer much more value than that on Saturday.
