Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring a week or so into camp when he slipped during fielding practice, which caused the Reds to "slow-play" him. However, Diaz says that he feels "great" now and expects to make his Cactus League debut this weekend. There's still plenty of time for the 28-year-old right-handed reliever to get ready for the start of the 2025 regular season at the end of March, barring a setback with his hamstring injury. The Puerto Rican hurler was a first-time All-Star in 2023 in just his second year in the big leagues after recording 37 saves for the Reds, but he wasn't quite as sharp in 2024, going 2-5 with a 3.99 ERA (4.57 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, 28 saves, 55 strikeouts and 31 walks in 56 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. A dip in velocity with a bloated 12.8% walk rate and low 22.7% strikeout rate were the culprits. Diaz is still Cincy's closer, but his leash could be shorter under new manager Terry Francona if he struggles.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
