Rangers Designate Alexis Diaz for Assignment
The Texas Rangers have designated relief pitcher Alexis Diaz for assignment, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Diaz served as the primary closer for the Cincinnati Reds in 2023 and 2024, collecting 65 total saves and 141 strikeouts across 123 2/3 innings. However, the right-hander struggled mightily in 2025, posting an 8.15 ERA across 17 2/3 innings split between the Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Atlanta Braves. Texas took a flyer on Diaz by signing him to a one-year deal in free agency, but the Rangers have apparently decided to bail out early on the 28-year-old. Diaz looked completely lost in his three Spring Training appearances for Texas, walking four and allowing eight earned runs across 1 2/3 innings pitched. The former closer will now either accept an outright assignment to the Minor Leagues or search for a new home as he looks to resurrect his MLB career.
