In 2012, he came in second place of the general classification of the Tour de San Luis. He was originally third, but Alberto Contador's results were later voided, which also awarded him the fifth stage of that race since he had finished second behind Contador. In January 2013, Díaz won the overall classification of the Tour de San Luis, besting second-placed Tejay van Garderen () by 33 seconds. He earned the leader's jersey after the mountainous stage 5, where he finished second behind his teammate Emmanuel Guevara.
