Miguel Díaz: Everything you need to know

Diaz signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Dec. 28. The Astros released Diaz in late May after he started the Triple-A season with a 9.64 ERA through 14 innings. He then signed with the Tigers and finished the year allowing just seven earned runs over 32 minor-league frames. If the 30-year-old righty is able to continue his dominant run in 2025, he may have a chance at contributing to the Giants' bullpen throughout the year.

Diaz agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. The right-hander was cut loose by Houston in late May but was able to land a minor-league pact with Detroit. Diaz struggled to a 9.64 ERA in 13 outings at Triple-A Sugar Land with the Astros and will need better results for the Tigers to have a chance of seeing the big leagues.

The Astros released Diaz on Monday. Diaz elected free agency after being DFA'd by the Astros in April, but he quickly returned to the team on a minor-league deal. The 29-year-old has since put up a 9.64 ERA in 14 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land, so Houston will elect to part ways with the right-handed reliever. Diaz's minor-league resume hasn't exactly been outstanding, but his 0.96 big-league ERA in 18.2 innings since 2022 may be enough to attract another minor-league deal from a different organization.
