Elias Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk, and two runs scored in Thursday’s 10-4 win over the Tigers. He opened the scoring with a 414-foot solo shot in the second inning, giving him homers in consecutive games after going 18 contests without one following his June 5 arrival in Texas.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz served as the designated hitter Thursday and has started five of the Rangers’ last six games, including four starts behind the plate. His recent playing time suggests he is gaining a more regular place in the lineup.
Elias Diaz signed a major league contract with the Texas Rangers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz elected free agency on Wednesday after being designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals and quickly found a new organization. He posted a .227/.261/.561 slash line across 10 games with the Royals this season. It's unclear how the Texas Rangers will sort out playing time behind the plate, as Danny Jansen and Kyle Higashioka are also on the major league roster, which could make it difficult for Diaz to carve out a consistent role.
The Royals sent C Elias Díaz outright to Triple-A Omaha.
Fantasy Impact
Diaz went unclaimed on waivers after he was designated for assignment by Kansas City.
