ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Ali Sánchez - Claimed by D-backs Sanchez was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Impact Sanchez was claimed off waivers from Detroit earlier in the offseason, and will now join his third organization in less than two months. The 25-year-old backstop never saw the big leagues in 2022, but he put up a .743 OPS and collected 33 RBI in Triple-A over 252 plate appearances. If he makes the big-league roster, it's possible Sanchez splits time with Carson Kelly, pushing Daulton Varsho into the outfield full-time.

Diamondbacks agree to deal with hard-throwing reliever Miguel Castro The Arizona Diamondbacks added more power stuff to their bullpen on Friday, agreeing to a contract with reliever Miguel Castro.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Miguel Castro - Signs with Diamondbacks Castro signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Castro will head to Arizona after spending the 2022 campaign with the Yankees, producing a 4.03 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 29 innings in 34 appearances out of the bullpen. The 27-year-old will likely operate in a middle-relief role for Arizona and based on his performance, the Diamondbacks have an option to retain his rights for an additional season past 2023.

Kyle Lewis - Dealt to Arizona Lewis was traded from the Mariners to the Diamondbacks on Thursday in exchange for Cooper Hummel, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Lewis was named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2020, but he appeared in just 54 major-league games over the last two seasons due to injuries and poor production. He slashed .215/.301/.366 with eight homers, 21 runs, 16 RBI and two stolen bases over that stretch but will now have a chance to get a fresh start with the potential to see more playing time in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks.

Keynan Middleton - Scrubbed from 40-man roster Arizona outrighted Middleton (toe) to Triple-A Reno on Nov. 3.

Impact Middleton lost his spot on the 40-man roster heading into the start of free agency after turning in a 5.29 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 17 innings with the big club in 2022. He finished the season on the 15-day injured list with a sprained left big toe, but the injury shouldn't be anything that affects his availability for spring training.

Jordan Luplow - DFA'd by Arizona Luplow was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Impact Luplow was acquired by Arizona in November 2021, and he won't retain his spot on the 40-man roster since he struggled to a .176/.274/.361 slash line in 83 games during his first season in the desert.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Alcántara - Designated for assignment Alcantara was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Impact Alcantara played in 93 games between Arizona and San Diego last season and struggled at the plate with a .617 OPS. He was removed from the 40-man roster in order to free up space for prospects ahead of the Rule 5 draft.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Stone Garrett - Loses spot on 40-man roster Garrett was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Impact Garrett made his major-league debut last season and hit well with a .276/.309/.539 slash line, four home runs and three steals in 27 games, but it apparently wasn't enough to retain his spot on the 40-man roster through the offseason.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Smith - DFA'd by Arizona Smith (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Impact Smith primarily worked out of the bullpen in 2022 and had a 4.11 ERA across 70 innings, but he won't retain his spot on the 40-man roster through the offseason. The 31-year-old suffered an elbow injury during the season finale, though it's unclear if the issue is affecting his offseason program.

Carlos Vargas - Sent to Arizona Vargas was acquired by the Diamondbacks from the Guardians on Tuesday in exchange for Ross Carver.

Impact Vargas received his first call-up to the big leagues in mid-September, though he didn't make his debut while up with the Guardians. The 23-year-old will now head to Arizona, where he should have a clearer path to pitching in the majors.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Martinez - Joining 40-man roster Martinez was added to the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact Martinez spent the first half of 2022 completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he saw most of his game action while he built up with High-A Hillsboro. The 21-year-old moved up to Triple-A Reno down the stretch and should open next season in the upper minors.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Fletcher - Moves to 40-man roster Fletcher was added to the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact Fletcher is one of Arizona's top prospects and had a .301/.368/.447 slash line at Triple-A Reno last season, so it's not a surprise to see him added to the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft. The 24-year-old could be promoted for his major-league debut at some point next year.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Barrosa - Joins 40-man roster Barrosa was added to Arizona's 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact Barrosa spent most of the 2022 campaign at Double-A Amarillo and finished with a .276/.374/.438 slash line with 12 home runs and 21 steals in 110 games. If he doesn't open 2023 at Triple-A Reno, he should be able to quickly earn a promotion.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blaze Alexander - Protected from Rule 5 draft Alexander was added to the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact Alexander raked at Double-A Amarillo with a .927 OPS to earn a late-season promotion to Triple-A Reno, and he's now been added to Arizona's 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 draft. The 23-year-old could make his big-league debut sometime next year.
