Moves to first base Dietrich started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Rockies.

Impact 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.

Pops homer in win Dietrich went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Dietrich provided the biggest hit of the night when he went yard in the eighth inning to extend the Rangers' lead to 6-2.

Dietrich has four hits, four runs scored and a stolen base in nine plate appearances. He's also been hit by a pitch twice in three games.

Will start over weekend Dietrich is expected to start games Saturday and Sunday, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Dietrich, who was called up to the roster earlier this week, made a huge splash in first appearance. He started in place of Rougned Odor at second base Wednesday when he reached base four times, stole a base and scored two runs. That fueled speculation that he could continue to see action at second base, but Dietrich was back on the bench Friday. He could play first, second or third base this weekend.
