JOHN CURTISS NEWS

Outrighted to Reno Curtiss cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Curtiss finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP alongside a 24:5 K:BB across 36.2 innings. However, with the Diamondbacks aiming to clear roster space before free agency begins, the 32-year-old righty will lose his place on the 40-man. He will have the option to elect free agency.

Earns first save of season Curtiss allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

Impact Curtiss is the 17th player to log a save for the Diamondbacks this season, which has seen the team take a closing committee to the extreme. Andrew Saalfrank has been bothered by shoulder fatigue recently and may not have been available, as he was not deployed despite his last appearance being Tuesday. Curtiss was hit hard in an outing Wednesday versus the Giants, allowing five runs (four earned) without recording an out, but he bounced back well. He's pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 35 innings while adding a save and four holds.

Selected from Triple-A The Diamondbacks selected Curtiss's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact Curtiss signed a minor-league deal with Arizona in February and has posted a 6.34 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over 32.2 innings with Reno this season. While those numbers are poor, the righty has been better of late, tossing 3.2 scoreless frames over his past three outings. To make room for Curtiss on the 26-man and 40-man rosters, the Diamondbacks designated fellow reliever Tayler Scott for assignment.

Signs with Arizona Curtiss signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Most of Curtiss' time last season was spent at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he turned in a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 50 frames. However, his recent performance in the majors hasn't been as successful, as he's surrendered 14 earned runs in 22 innings since 2023. He'll have a chance to earn a spot at the end of Arizona's bullpen during spring training, but chances are he reports to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2025 campaign.
