Impact Calhoun's $9 million team option was declined by the Diamondbacks in early November after he slashed .235/.297/.373 with five homers, 17 runs and 17 RBI across 51 appearances last year. Although he dealt with hamstring issues in 2021, he'll likely be in the mix for a starting role in 2022.

Impact Calhoun played in only 51 games for Arizona during the 2021 season while battling injuries, and he struggled when available with a .235/.297/.373 slash line, five homers, 17 RBI and 17 runs in 182 plate appearances. The 34-year-old may need to settle for a minor-league deal during the offseason.

Collects two hits in loss Calhoun went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to San Francisco.
Impact Calhoun got the start in right field, just the third time over the last eight games the veteran was in the starting lineup. He's batting .308 (8-for-26) with two home runs and seven RBI in 10 games since being activated off the injured list. There's very little chance the Diamondbacks will bring Calhoun back in 2022.

No DH, no Kole Calhoun did not play in Monday's 11-4 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Calhoun was activated from the injured list last Friday and served as the designated hitter in all three games over the weekend in Houston, but he was held out of the starting lineup once Arizona was back in an National League city. Calhoun's usual position, right field, was occupied by Henry Ramos. The Diamondbacks are evaluating or giving opportunities to several players younger than Calhoun. It doesn't mean he won't play again this season, but the veteran may no longer be a regular presence on the diamond.
