Diamondbacks DFA veteran reliever Kendall Graveman
August 12 - The Arizona Diamondbacks designated 10-year major league veteran reliever Kendall Graveman for assignment on Monday and recalled pitcher Juan Morillo in a corresponding move. Graveman, 34, signed with Arizona in spring training after missing all of the 2024 campaign, recovering from right shoulder labrum surgery. He started the season on the injured list (strained right lumbar), debuted with the team on May 13 and also missed time in June due to a hip injury. Graveman made 19 appearances with the Diamondbacks, winning his lone decision, but pitching to an ERA of 7.13 in 17 2/3 innings of work. He did not allow an earned run in six consecutive appearances (July 13-Aug. 3), but permitted two runs, while recording one out vs. San Diego on August 5 and gave up three runs in one inning on August 10 vs. Colorado. "Kendall was grinding through things," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "He was having some really good moments, some touch-and-go moments outside of that and we just felt like it was the right time to make a move to get Juan back up here." Graveman debuted with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014, then spent four seasons in Oakland (2015-18), before spending time with the Seattle Mariners (2020-21), Houston Astros (2021, 2023) and the Chicago White Sox (2022-23). He was a member of two Astros' division-winning squads and appeared in nine games in the 2021 playoffs. The right-hander was 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in 11 innings of work for the squad which fell to Tampa Bay in the American League Championship Series. Graveman, who intends to keep pitching, signed for $1.35 million with a $5 million mutual option in 2026. He is 36-43 with a 4.03 ERA in 299 career appearances (80 starts). Morillo, 26, posted an 0-2 record and a 4.94 ERA in 31 outings for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He was recalled from Triple-A Reno. --Field Level Media

Veteran reliever Kendall Graveman designated for assignment by Diamondbacks
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Veteran reliever Kendall Graveman was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks when they recalled right-hander Juan Morillo on Monday. Graveman was 1-0 with a 7.13 ERA in 19 appearances for the Diamondbacks. The 34-year-old right-hander had signed with them in spring training after missing last season following surgery in January 2024 to repair the labrum in his right shoulder. Morillo, a 26-year-old rookie right-hander, had a 4.94 ERA in 31 appearances for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He joined the team before the start of their three-game series at Texas. After starting the season on the injured list because of a strained right lumbar, Graveman didn't pitch in his first game for Arizona until May 13. He also missed time in June because of a hip issue. In his final appearance Sunday, he gave up three runs, including a two-run homer, after entering the Diamondbacks' home win over Colorado with a 12-3 lead. 'Kendall was grinding through things. He was having some really good moments, some touch-and-go moments outside of that and we just felt like it was the right time to make a move to get Juan back up here,' Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said, adding it was a tough conversation with the veteran who plans to try to keep pitching. Graveman's contract with Arizona had a $1.35 million salary with a $5 million mutual option for 2026 and a $100,000 buyout. Graveman earned total bonuses of $150,000 for pitching at least 15 games this year, and was one appearance shy of another $150,000 bonus. He has a 38-43 career record and 4.03 ERA in 299 games over 10 big league seasons, including 80 starts before switching to a full-time relief role in 2021. He first pitched with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014, and later the Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Houston Astros. Arizona also claimed right-hander Gus Varland, who was waived last week by the Chicago White Sox, and sent him to Triple-A Reno. Right-hander Jeff Brigham was designated for assignment. ___ AP MLB:
