Diaz was traded to the Giants from the Marlins on Saturday for a player to be named or cash considerations, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Diaz remained in the Marlins' minor-league system for a little over a month after being designated for assignment in late March, but that will be the extent of his time with the club. Diaz has appeared in 145 big-league games, but he has posted just a.185 batting average and .562 OPS. He is still 25 and was once a top-100 prospect, so the Giants could give him another shot at the top level at some point.

Triple-A Jacksonville activated Diaz (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday. Diaz, who was outrighted to Jacksonville on March 29 after clearing waivers, made his debut for the affiliate a week later but has since been sidelined for the past two and a half weeks. After he made a pair of rehab appearances at Single-A Jupiter, Diaz looks prepared to reclaim an everyday role for Jacksonville.

The Marlins designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday. Diaz was dropped from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler, whose three-year contract with the Marlins became official Tuesday. A prominent member of the Marlins' return haul in the January 2018 deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee, Diaz never emerged as the core contributor in the middle infield that Miami envisioned. Over 500 plate appearances with the Marlins across parts of the past three seasons, Diaz slashed .185/.275/.287 with nine home runs, 45 runs and 41 RBI while striking out 27.8 percent of the time.

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Diaz has recently been operating as Miami's everyday third baseman, but he'll head back to the minors despite going 7-for-20 with four walks and two runs in his past eight contests. Eddy Alvarez and Joe Panik should split time at the hot corner for the Marlins.

Diaz will be on the bench for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Diaz had started six straight games at third base, but he's now been on the bench for two in a row. His .192/.288/.284 slash line in 265 plate appearances this season doesn't make a strong case for regular at-bats. Eddy Alvarez will make his second straight start at the hot corner Sunday.
