Alexis Diaz is sticking in the National league. Just five days after Diaz was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the former Reds All-Star has a new home.

The Atlanta Braves claimed him off waivers on Sunday. The Braves also claimed former Red Jake Fraley on August 17.

Diaz was traded to the Dodgers for reliever Mike Villani on May 29th after posting a 12.00 ERA in six games with the Reds in April, with just three strikeouts and five walks across six total innings.

Diaz looked like he was the closer of the future for the Reds in 2023. He had a 1.19 WHIP and a .186 batting average against with 37 saves. Now, he joins an Atlanta Braves pitching staff that could be the change of scenery he needs to get back on track.
