Burnes outpitches Alcantara, Brewers edge Marlins 1-0

Corbin Burnes outpitched Sandy Alcantara, striking out seven in eight innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • Associated Press

Sits against southpaw Diaz isn't starting Thursday against Milwaukee.

Impact Diaz has started against just one left-handed pitcher this season, and he'll get a breather with southpaw Eric Lauer on the mound Thursday. Charles Leblanc is starting at first base and batting second.

Clobbers fifth homer Diaz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Nationals.

Impact Diaz put the Marlins on the board in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he sent a 375-foot blast to right field to lead off the frame. The home run was the second in four days for Diaz, but he hasn't done much since his July 26 call-up from Triple-A Jacksonville to generate much excitement for fantasy purposes. The lefty-hitting first baseman doesn't typically start against lefties, and since he's slashed .167/.225/.304 in 151 plate appearances in the majors this season, he's often been relegated to the bottom of the order against right-handed starting pitchers.

Riding pine Friday Diaz isn't in the lineup Friday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz started the last two games and went 2-for-6 with a solo home run and two strikeouts. He'll get a breather while Charles Leblanc starts at first base and bats seventh.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in loss Diaz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

Impact Diaz homered off Marcus Stroman in the bottom of the fifth inning, expanding the Marlins' lead to 3-0. The 26-year-old is now up to four home runs on the year, all of which have come since Aug. 21. Diaz has produced at least one hit in five of his last six games, batting .263 with two long balls, three RBI and three runs over that span.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Miami is rolling out an all-right-handed lineup to counter Cubs southpaw Wade Miley, so the lefty-hitting Diaz will take a seat. Charles Leblanc replaces Diaz at first base.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Swats third homer Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

Impact His blast off Josiah Gray capped a four-run second inning for the Marlins, but the offense was cold the rest of the night. Diaz has gone just 4-for-30 (.133) in September, but two of the hits have left the yard, giving him three homers in 42 big-league games this season after he slugged 19 in 82 games at Triple-A.

Hits first homer Diaz went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Diaz got the Marlins on the board in the fourth inning, but they never realistically challenged the Dodgers' lead. With two extra-base hits Sunday, he doubled his output for the season in that category (one homer, three doubles). He's added a .164/.253/.247 slash line with four RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base through 83 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to see the strong side of a platoon at first base, while Jesus Aguilar handles the short side.

Dodgers rookie Pepiot beats All-Star Alcantara, Marlins 10-3

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Ryan Pepiot celebrated his 25th birthday in style, getting the best of a matchup with All-Star and Cy Young Award candidate Sandy Alcantara to lead a 10-...

AUGUST 21, 2022 • Associated Press

Takes seat versus lefty Diaz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz went 1-for-1 with a walk Wednesday and will head to the bench Friday with southpaw Tyler Anderson pitching for Los Angeles. Jesus Aguilar will move to first base while Nick Fortes serves as the designated hitter.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against lefty Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Sean Manaea on the bump for San Diego, the lefty-hitting Diaz appears to have solidified himself as the Marlins' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching, while Jesus Aguilar and Garrett Cooper have moved into a timeshare at designated hitter in those matchups. Diaz has yet to turn his steady role into meaningful fantasy production, however; he's slashing .145/.250/.164 with zero home runs, one stolen base, two RBI and five runs in 17 games since his July 26 promotion from Triple-A Jacksonville.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against lefty Diaz isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz started the last three games and went 2-for-12 with a double, a run, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout. Garrett Cooper will start at first base with left-hander Kyle Muller on the mound for Game 1.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Taking large-side platoon Diaz, who is starting Friday against Atlanta, is expected to serve as Miami's primary first baseman against right-handed pitching, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old briefly saw a drop in playing time after Garrett Cooper (wrist) was returned from the injured list in early August, but Diaz will now operate in the large side of a platoon at first base. Diaz has appeared in only 16 big-league games this season and has a .420 OPS, but he should now have the chance for some regular playing time.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • Associated Press

Likely headed for reserve role Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Miami reinstated Garrett Cooper (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, a transaction that could spell an end to Diaz's time as an everyday player. At the very least, the lefty-hitting Diaz will likely sit against left-handed pitching moving forward, and the Marlins won't be able to find a spot for him in the lineup against right-handed pitching unless they decide to steer away from the first base/designated-hitter timeshare between Cooper and Jesus Aguilar. Diaz didn't do much to help his case for playing over Cooper or Aguilar during his recent eight-game run as a starter, as he went just 6-for-28 (.214 average) with five walks against nine strikeouts during that stretch.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On base three times Thursday Diaz went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Reds.

Impact With Garrett Cooper (wrist) on the shelf, Diaz has started three straight games, going 3-for-9 with three walks against only two strikeouts. The 25-year-old may not have anything left to learn at Triple-A, slashing .250/.325/.504 in 156 games over the last two seasons at that level with 39 homers and 115 RBI, and if the Marlins clear his path at the trade deadline by moving Cooper or Jesus Aguilar, Diaz would likely hold down a starting role the rest of the year, supplying strong defense and power potential (albeit with little batting average upside) at first base.

JULY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Getting steady work at first base Diaz will start at first base and bat fifth in Thursday's game against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact While Garrett Cooper (wrist) is on the 10-day injured list, the lefty-hitting Diaz looks like he'll get a chance to play regularly at least against right-handed pitching. After going 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss, Diaz will pick up his third consecutive start at first base Thursday while Jesus Aguilar handles designated-hitter duties.

JULY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Tuesday Diaz was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz will return to the majors after being sent down June 21, replacing Garrett Cooper (wrist) after he was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Diaz has gone 1-for-10 with a double and run scored over three games with the Marlins this season. He's produced a .252 average with 19 homers, 64 RBI and 55 runs over 325 at-bats in 82 contests with Jacksonville in 2022.

JULY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Impact Jesus Aguilar (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, so Diaz will return to the minors after spending the past few days in Miami. The 25-year-old appeared in three games during his brief time in the majors and went 1-for-10 with a double, a run and five strikeouts.

JUNE 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Diaz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Diaz appeared in all three of the Marlins' games with the Mets over the weekend and started in two, going a collective 1-for-10 with a double and a run. While the lefty-hitting Diaz could have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching while Jesus Aguilar (illness) is on the COVID-19-related injured list, the 25-year-old will likely continue to take a seat against southpaws such as the Mets' David Peterson.

JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins active roster Diaz was recalled by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz joins the team with Jesus Aguilar landing on the COVID-19 injured list. Aguilar and Garrett Cooper had been splitting the first base and designated hitter spots, but Diaz may not be the preferred option at either position. In 169 career MLB plate appearances, he's hit just .193/.231/.391.

JUNE 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stint with big club over The Marlins optioned Diaz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Diaz's stint with the big club lasted just one day, with the 25-year-old going unused off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Brewers. Miami chose to replace Diaz on the 26-man active roster with lefty Daniel Castano, who could be deployed as a long reliever or as a potential replacement in the rotation for Jesus Luzardo (forearm), who was recently placed on the 15-day injured list.

MAY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins big club Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Diaz failed to carve out a spot on Miami's Opening Day roster and will join the major-league club Sunday for the first time this year. The 25-year-old appeared in 40 games for the Marlins last season and hit .205/.242/.451 with eight home runs and 13 RBI, and he should provide depth at first base and designated hitter while Garrett Cooper manages a knee issue.
