  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: May need to work on conditioning

    Diaz, who received a demotion to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday after a very slow start to spring, may need to improve his conditioning in order to earn a call back up to the big-league club, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Diaz started 37 games at third base last season, but that didn't earn him enough capital to offset an .083 average across 10 Cactus League games to open spring training. The Athletics also have some viable contenders for the starting role at the hot corner, including Darell Hernaiz and Abraham Toro. As such, Diaz may have an uphill battle in the short term to log big-league at-bats, but getting into better condition will help his chances. "He's a kid that is working on certain things and understanding where he needs to be physically," manager Mark Kotsay said. "Getting to that place will help him not just this year, but for his future, too."

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Optioned to Triple-A

    Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

    Diaz had a rough go of it with the A's in Cactus League play, batting .083 with a double and two runs scored while striking out three times over 24 at-bats in 10 contests. He'll now look to get right with the Aviators before he inevitably gets another shot with the major-league roster in 2024.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Multi-hit effort in loss

    Diaz went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    Diaz produced his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 1, the last game before he fell into a 3-for-20, seven-game funk. The rookie snapped out of it to an extent Sunday with a performance that included his fourth extra-base hit and RBI of September. Diaz did whiff two more times, however, pushing his strikeout rate to 36.7 percent since the start of the month.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Sitting Saturday

    Diaz will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Diaz's .239/.294/.403 slash line in 75 games this season isn't particularly impressive, and he's gone just 3-for-19 at the plate across his last six games. Kevin Smith will take over at the hot corner Saturday.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Reaches double-digit homers

    Diaz's 397-foot shot to center in the seventh inning knotted the game at 3-3 and put him at 10 homers for the season. The rookie's blast snapped a nine-game home-run drought, and it extended a stretch of hot hitting that now sees him boasting a .409 average over his last seven contests.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Breaks out of slump

    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Mariners.

    Diaz had collected three hits over his last 12 games combined before breaking out of the slump Tuesday. All of his hits in this contest were singles. The 23-year-old infielder is now at a .235/.294/.395 slash line with nine home runs, 22 RBI, 16 runs scored and five doubles through 67 contests. After a three-game stint on the bench during last weekend's series versus the White Sox, it appears he's back in his regular role as the Athletics' primary third baseman. Jonah Bride could also fill in at the hot corner if Diaz slumps again.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Not starting Saturday

    Diaz is not in the starting nine for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

    Diaz finds himself on the bench for the third consecutive game. It's possible he's dealing with an unreported minor injury, but it's also possible his 2-for-29 showing over his previous 10 contests led the Athletics to decide to give him a few days off. Whatever the reason, Jonah Bride will get another start at the hot corner.

  • Athletics' Jordan Diaz: Stuffs box score in win

    Diaz went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

The rookie snapped a brief 0-for-10 slump in the process while continuing his recent pattern of admirable plate discipline -- despite carrying just a .209 average over 52 August plate appearances, Diaz boasts a .346 on-base percentage and modest 15.4 percent strikeout rate during that sample thanks mostly to a 17.3 percent walk rate.
