Diamondbacks sign veteran pitcher Anthony DeSclafani
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed free-agent pitcher Anthony DeSclafani and placed him on the major-league roster Sunday. DeSclafani, 35, recently opted out of a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees. He pitched for their Triple-A team at Scranton, where he had a 4.50 ERA in five starts. Advertisement Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said before Sunday's game against San Diego that the veteran right-hander will work out of the bullpen. In a corresponding move, Bryce Jarvis was optioned to Triple-A Reno, and to make room on Arizona's 40-man roster, Justin Martínez was moved to the 60-day injured list. Martínez will undergo surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament and miss the rest of this season. Arizona has also lost Corbin Burnes (Tommy John surgery) and A.J. Puk has been sidelined since April 17 with elbow inflammation. Puk was shut down from his rehab program last week after experiencing discomfort in his elbow and is consulting about possible surgery. DeSclafani is 54-56 with a 4.20 ERA in his career. He was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA for San Francisco in 2021, but last pitched in the majors in July 2023. He was sidelined all of last season after having flexor tendon surgery on his pitching arm. ___ AP MLB:

Yankees Add Depth with Veteran Hoping for a Comeback
The New York Yankees have added a familiar name. The team signed veteran right-hander Anthony DeSclafani to a minor league contract Tuesday, according to the YES Network's Conor Foley. For DeSclafani, it marks a return to the mound after nearly two years lost to injury. He hasn't pitched in a professional game since suffering a flexor strain in July 2023 with the San Francisco Giants. After multiple rehab setbacks and eventual flexor tendon surgery last March, his path back has been a long one.

Marcus Stroman, and his 11.57 ERA, is on the injured list with mysterious knee 'stuff'. Carlos Rodón looks like he's finally turning into the pitcher the Yankees thought they signed in 2023, but it is still a small sample size. Will Warren has one win and a 5.65 ERA in his first seven starts, showing flashes of talent and evidence that he should still be in the minors. Clarke Schmidt has returned from injury, but has just one complete big league season under his belt. DeSclafani posted a career-best 3.17 ERA over 31 starts with the Giants in 2021 but struggled to stay healthy after signing a three-year, $36 million deal that offseason. Advertisement Following that contract, his production tailed off, and he threw just 118 2/3 innings over the next two years with a 5.16 ERA. Despite his struggles, DeSclafani has maintained excellent control throughout his career, rarely issuing walks even during his toughest stretches. The Yankees' signing adds another option to a thin group of experienced depth starters in Triple-A. If DeSclafani proves healthy and can regain even a fraction of his pre-injury form, he could play a valuable role in the Yankees' pitching plans later this summer. For now, it's a low-cost bet on a veteran arm trying to revive his career.
