Astros Claim Miguel Diaz From Tigers
1 year agoThe Houston Astros have claimed right-hander Miguel Diaz off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. The reliever didn't crack the Opening Day roster and was out of minor league options, meaning the Tigers needed to try and pass him through waivers if they wanted to keep him in the organization. That will not be the case, however, as Diaz will join the Astros' bullpen after impressing with just one earned run allowed across 14 innings in the 2023 season with 16 strikeouts against five walks in that time. With Josh Hader in town, Diaz won't see any save opportunities but should get an opportunity after dazzling a season ago.

Tigers Re-Sign Miguel Diaz
2 years agoThe 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.

Miguel Diaz Signs With Tigers
3 years agoThe 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.
