Impact Diaz has bounced on and off throughout the season, getting optioned three separate times in the month of July alone. He's been effective in 29.1 major-league innings, posting a 3.38 ERA, though his 13.0 percent walk rate is potentially cause for concern.

Sent to Triple-A Diaz was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Impact The right-hander was recalled by the Padres just before the All-Star break and made three appearances during his stint in the majors. Diaz covered 3.2 scoreless frames in two outings, but he surrendered four runs in one inning during his other appearance. Overall he's been a solid bullpen piece for the Friars this year with a 3.38 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:16 K:BB across 29.1 innings, so he should be back in the majors before too long.

Diaz, Padres bullpen dominate in 4-2 win over Rockies

Reliever Miguel Diaz rejoined the Padres for the fourth time this season and was part of a dominant performance by the San Diego bullpen in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies

JULY 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Victorious in return Diaz (3-1) won Friday's 4-2 game with the Rockies, pitching 2.2 innings in relief and allowing one hit with three strikeouts.

Impact Diaz entered in the fourth and departed after the sixth, falling in line for the win once San Diego took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the inning. This was Diaz's first appearance since June 26 after a brief stint in Triple-A and he remains a stealth option with an excellent 2.30 ERA.

Returns to Padres The Padres recalled Diaz from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

Impact The righty has a 2.55 ERA in 24.2 big-league innings this season. Diaz has made two starts with the Padres, and his multi-inning capability may be utilized in relief Friday, as Reiss Knehr was called up from Double-A to start the game.

Sent back to El Paso The Padres optioned Diaz to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Impact San Diego moved Diaz off the 26-man active roster to clear a spot for Ryan Weathers, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso ahead of his scheduled start Thursday in Cincinnati. Diaz went unused out of the bullpen during the lone day he was up with the big club.

Returns big leagues Diaz was recalled prior to Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Diaz was optioned Tuesday along with James Norwood in order to make room for Drew Pomeranz and Pierce Johnson to be activated from the 10-day IL. With Blake Snell going on the injured list Wednesday due to illness, Diaz will return after just one day away from the big club. Diaz has pitched well across 24.2 innings in the majors this season, striking out 26 while posting a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.

Optioned to Triple-A Diaz was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Impact Diaz has done a nice job while logging 24.2 innings across two stints with the Padres this season, posting a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP to go along with 26 strikeouts. However, with both Drew Pomeranz (lat) and Pierce Johnson (triceps) being activated from the IL on Tuesday, Diaz no longer has a spot in the San Diego bullpen. He could potentially be stretched out when he returns to the minors and figures to be a top candidate to return the big leagues either as a starter or reliever later this summer.

Works two innings in spot start Diaz allowed two runs on three hits and a walk with two strikeouts over two innings versus Cincinnati on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Diaz was used as a spot starter, but he gave up RBI doubles in each of the two innings he covered before Daniel Camarena entered the contest. The 26-year-old Diaz has mostly worked out of the bullpen this year. He has a 2.78 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 22.2 innings. With just one save and one hold, he's still been effective as a low-leverage reliever.

Starting Saturday Diaz will start Saturday's game against the Reds, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Diaz hasn't gone more than three innings in any of his appearances this year, but he'll make his second start of the season Saturday after Dinelson Lamet and Yu Darvish were pushed back a day. Across his last four appearances, the right-hander has allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven in five innings.

Notches first career save Diaz earned the save against the Astros on Saturday, pitching a perfect inning and picking up one strikeout.

Impact Regular closer Mark Melancon attempted to hold a one-run lead in the 10th inning but couldn't keep the inherited runner from scoring, and both teams scored again in the 11th frame. San Diego then put up three runs in the 12th, and Diaz was called upon to close out the contest. He succeeded in doing so, resulting in the first save of his career. It's a fitting accomplishment given the strength of Diaz's season thus far. He has allowed only one earned run across 15.2 innings while functioning primarily in a multi-inning relief role.
