JQL For Recently Assigned Issues

Question

Need help with a JQL to retrieve all issues whose assignee transitioned from unassigned to any assignee since the beginning of the day. This is what I have, however it does not return any results:

project in (x) AND assignee changed FROM EMPTY AFTER startOfDay() AND assignee IS NOT EMPTY ORDER BY createdDate DESC

Any thoughts?

assignee was EMPTY DURING (startOfDay(), startOfDay(-1)) and assignee is not empty

This is what comes to my mind right now, in case the assignee was empty yesterday and today it has a value, may be someone from the community can come up with another solution.

If I do "assignee was empty before startOfDay()" then it will take all the issues which were empty at some point of time before today, which is not required.
