  • Giants' Yusniel Diaz: Lands deal with San Francisco

    Diaz signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday.

    Diaz, 27, slashed .278/.374/.484 with 16 home runs over 94 games with Double-A Tulsa in the Dodgers organization last season. The shine has long since worn off since his top prospect days, but Diaz is still fairly young and the Giants felt he was worth a no-risk flier.

  • Dodgers' Yusniel Diaz: 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.

    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.

  • Orioles' Yusniel Diaz: Activated at Triple-A

    Triple-A Norfolk activated Diaz (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

  • Orioles' Yusniel Diaz: Begins rehab assignment

    Diaz (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with the Orioles' FCL affiliate Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Diaz has been out over a month with a strained right hamstring. He recorded a strong .327/.424/.510 slash line in 14 games for Triple-A Norfolk prior to the injury, so the Orioles will be hoping he can get back to that level of performance upon his return to game action.

  • Orioles' Yusniel Diaz: Not close to return

    Diaz aggravated a right hamstring injury last week that also cost him time in April. The outfielder would presumably need to get back up to speed with Triple-A Norfolk before potentially ascending to the majors. There's still not a clear timeline for when he'll be back in action.
