2024 Fantasy Outlook
Diaz's first season with the A's was a forgettable one, as he posted a career-worst .617 OPS in 109 games. He hit just four home runs with 24 RBI, 25 runs and one stolen base, though he did play at all four infield positions plus the outfield. However, his only positions with at least 15 appearances were shortstop and third base, so depending on the league he may only have dual-position eligibility. Even with a rebound toward his career .261/.314/.429 slash line, Diaz has a low fantasy ceiling with the offense around him unlikely to provide many opportunities for run production. He's also not guaranteed playing time, with the A's likely only hoping he turns things around in order to flip him at the trade deadline. Read Past Outlooks
IL stint expected
Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Monday that Diaz (calf) is likely to begin the season on the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diaz suffered a calf strain while rehabbing from a groin strain last week and won't be ready to resume a running program until later this week. He won't have enough time to fully ramp up ahead of Opening Day, even if he avoids another setback. In addition to the injury, Diaz's playing-time outlook also took a hit with the Athletics' recent addition of J.D. Davis.

Diaz has enjoyed the perfect fit for his offensive abilities the past few seasons even though he has functioned in a reserve role nearly his entire stint with Houston. The versatile utility player may be getting a surprise late-career playing time bump after getting a two-year deal with Oakland, which has perhaps the least-talented 40-man roster in the league. While he may be getting a boosted role, it comes with a massive downgrade in home park factors for a right-handed hitter. He can still hit the ball hard and has the athleticism to pretty much do anything but catch in a pinch throughout a game. There's nothing glamorous about Diaz, but his role and lineup placement should lead to him being viable in AL-only leagues and as a deep-league streamer for those chasing plate appearances.
