  Dietrich started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a solo home in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers. Dietrich replaced Danny Santana, who had been starting at first base recently but was placed on the injured list with an elbow injury. The Rangers called up first baseman Ronald Guzman on Friday, so Dietrich may not be the primary starter at the position.

  Dietrich started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies. Dietrich made an impression after being called up from the alternate camp last week: he filled in at second base for Rougned Odor and reached base four times in his debut, then homered as the designated hitter Saturday. With Danny Santana activated off the injured list Sunday, Dietrich's opportunities will be squeezed.

  Dietrich went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. Dietrich provided the biggest hit of the night when he went yard in the eighth inning to extend the score to 6-2. Those would be valuable runs, as the Rockies managed to score once in both the eighth and ninth innings, but they couldn't catch up. Dietrich has four hits, four runs scored and a stolen base in nine plate appearances with the Rangers. He's also been hit by a pitch twice in three games.
