The New York Yankees selected Diehl in the 27th round of the 2016 MLB draft.[4] He signed with the Yankees for $50,000 rather than return to college, and was assigned to the Staten Island Yankees of the Low–A New York-Penn League.[5] He began the 2018 season with the Tampa Tarpons of the High–A Florida State League and was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Double–A Eastern League.[6]

On June 10, 2019, his contract was selected and he was called up to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He made his debut on June 11 versus the Chicago Cubs, allowing two runs in one inning of relief.[10] On June 23, 2020, it was announced that Diehl had tested positive for COVID-19.[11] He returned in time for the start of summer camp on July 4.[12] In 2020, Diehl pitched six innings in as many games, allowing seven runs on seven hits for a 10.50 ERA with four strikeouts.[13]

On April 10, 2021, Diehl was designated for assignment after Alan Trejo was added to the roster.[14]

Cincinnati Reds

Diehl was assigned to Triple-A Louisville to begin the 2022 season. He recorded a 4.50 ERA and 0.75 WHIP in eight innings of work across eight relief appearances before he had his contract selected to Cincinnati's active roster on April 27, 2022.[19] On May 9, Diehl was designated for assignment by Cincinnati.[20] On May 12, he cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville.[21]
