Overview
- Arizona made the move official Thursday, days after designating DeSclafani for assignment, per MLB.com's transaction log.
- DeSclafani logged 13 appearances (four starts) for the Diamondbacks with 38.2 innings and a 5.12 ERA, surrendering five home runs over 5.2 innings in his two outings after returning from injury.
- Signed by Arizona to a major-league deal in mid-June after a Yankees minor-league stint, he opened in long relief and moved to the rotation following the Merrill Kelly trade.
- A mid-August thumb injury sent him to the injured list for about a month; upon return he shifted back to the bullpen as Nabil Crismatt took the fifth starter role.
- With less than two weeks left in the season, immediate MLB opportunities appear unlikely, and off‑season interest is expected to center on minor-league deals or a non-roster spring invite, with any team-specific reunion talk characterized as speculative.
