Rene Pinto Designated For Assignment
2 days agoArizona Diamondbacks catcher Rene Pinto was designated for assignment on Wednesday, leaving Jose Herrera as the primary backup catcher for the Diamondbacks behind Gabriel Moreno. Pinto was claimed off of waivers in January from the Orioles and went 5-for-19 (.263) in his 11 games this spring. Herrera went 10-for-33 (.303) in his 12 games and has been with the team for the past three seasons. Last year, Herrera hit .227 in 42 games with a .271 wOBA and 70 wRC+. While Herrera remains off the fantasy radar for now, Pinto will get a chance to catch on with another organization after already moving from the Rays to the Orioles to the Diamondbacks this offseason.
