2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Orioles have moved on from Diaz, designating him for assignment in November of 2022. He opted for free agency, but it's tough to imagine he gets much more than a minor-league contract with his next organization. The 26-year-old slashed a respectable .252/.350/.362 in 70 games at the Triple-A level last year after shaking off a hamstring injury that cost him much of the first half. Diaz could still push for a reserve role somewhere as a well-disciplined outfielder, but he's reached double-digits in home runs and stolen bases only once each in his six-year minor-league career. Like the Orioles, dynasty managers can safely refresh their prospect pool since Diaz faces an uphill battle to be a regular in the majors. Read Past Outlooks

Signs minor-league deal
Diaz agreed Friday to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers that includes an invitation to spring training, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Diaz returns to the organization that originally signed him out of Cuba in 2015, before being one of the top names dealt to the Orioles for Manny Machado at the 2018 trade deadline. The outfielder has made just one plate appearance in his MLB career and has registered a .261/.340/.410 slash line over parts of six minor-league seasons. He's a long shot to make the big-league roster and is likely ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
2016
Diaz failed to see big-league action in 2020, though it's clear the Orioles value his bat, as the team protected him from the Rule 5 draft in November by adding him to the 40-man roster. While nobody in the minors got to play out their usual minor-league season, Diaz was added to the 60-man player pool in July and sent to the club's alternate training site for at-bats. It's worth noting that Diaz slugged 11 homers with Double-A Bowie in 2019, the first time he's reached double digits in his minors career. It appears as though he may be transitioning from a contact hitter to a power hitter, especially when looking at his increase in flyballs and decrease in his LD% in 2019 (41.4 FB% vs. 17.2 LD%). Assuming he enters 2021 healthy, the outfielder figures to begin the year at Triple-A, though there's a chance he could make his major-league debut if he's able to produce at a similar level and avoid the injury list.
