Diamondbacks Designate Edwin Uceta For Assignment
2 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks designated right-hander Edwin Uceta for assignment on Thursday to make room on the 40-man roster for veteran third baseman Evan Longoria, whose one-year, $4 million deal became official. Uceta posted a 5.82 ERA (4.52 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, 13 strikeouts and seven walks in 17 relief innings for the D-backs in 2022 in his second major-league season. He spent most of his time toiling in the minors with Triple-A Reno, where he had a 4.86 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 70 strikeouts and 30 walks in 50 innings pitched over 28 appearances (five starts). Uceta will likely go unclaimed on waivers and will then be free to sign with any MLB team for the upcoming 2023 campaign.
