D-backs agree on 1-year deal with RHP Zach Davies
Right-handed pitcher Zach Davies has agreed to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks that includes a mutual option for the 2023 seasonMARCH 24, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Placed on 60-day injured list Bukauskas (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Impact The move doesn't change Bukauskas' return timeline, as he was already expected to miss multiple months with a Grade 2 shoulder strain. It clears a spot for the Diamondbacks to add the recently-signed Zach Davies to the 40-man roster.

Out months with shoulder tear Bukauskas will miss multiple months due to a Grade 2 tear of his teres major, reports Steve Gilbert of MLB.com
Impact Bukauskas will hit the injured list for what manager Torey Lovullo called "months not weeks." The pitcher will look to recover in time to perhaps factor into Arizona's plans late in the season.

Can the Diamondbacks get J.B. Bukauskas back on track? 'Confidence is everything for that kid' “I think I have good enough stuff to get anybody out,” Bukauskas said. Command, not stuff, has been the talented righty's biggest issue.

Reasons for demotion given Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Bukauskas' demotion was due to the reliever's inconsistency, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Bukauskas has alternated between dominant and hittable outings this season, which prompted Thursday's option to Triple-A Reno. "From a manager's standpoint, I need dependability," Lovullo said. "I need to know what's coming out of the bullpen every time. If you're consistent and you know what's going to be happening with each guy that you're going to put into a game, it makes my decision a lot easier." The demotion was the first bit of bullpen news Thursday, which paled next to the performance of relievers during a 5-4 loss to the Giants, in which Taylor Clarke and Tyler Clippard combined to blow a 4-0 ninth-inning lead. There should be a roster spot for someone like Bukauskas, if he can gain consistency, in a bullpen that features three guys signed to minor-league contracts in the offseason and two claimed off waivers in 2021.

Optioned to minors The Diamondbacks optioned Bukauskas to Triple-A Reno following Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Impact The righty has appeared in three games since being recalled July 30, most recently throwing a scoreless inning in Wednesday's contest. Bukauskas' overall numbers this season are not good, though, as he has a 7.79 ERA and 1.79 WHIP in 17.1 big-league relief innings.

Recalled by Arizona Bukauskas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Impact Bukauskas spent a week and a half in the minors and struck out three in 1.2 scoreless innings across two appearances at Triple-A Reno. He should serve as middle-relief help in the big leagues.

Optioned to Triple-A Bukauskas was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Impact Bukauskas earned his second win of the season Tuesday by striking out two in a perfect inning against the Pirates, but he'll now head back to the minors after strong performances in each of his last two innings. Although the right-hander has a 7.98 ERA and 1.84 WHIP in 14.2 innings across 18 appearances in the big leagues this year, he could rejoin Arizona's bullpen at some point if he performs well at Triple-A Reno.

Snares win Bukauskas (2-2) struck out two over a perfect seventh inning and was the winning pitcher in Tuesday's 11-6 win over the Pirates.
Impact Bukauskas was the beneficiary of Arizona's eight-run seventh inning, but he was impressive nonetheless, using his entire repertoire to dispatch Pittsburgh on 14 pitches (10 strikes). Both of his post-break outings have been scoreless. The Diamondbacks will be giving Bukauskas plenty of chances over the final months to chisel away at a 7.98 ERA.

Handed second loss Bukauskas (1-2) took the loss in Sunday's 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk in 0.1 innings.
Impact Bukauskas came in for the ninth in a 4-4 game and surrendered a single, sacrifice, intentional walk, and game-ending Max Muncy home run to become Sunday's losing pitcher. The rookie enters the break with 12.2 innings across 16 appearances and an unsightly 9.24 ERA but may receive additional opportunities on a tanking Diamondbacks team.
