Diamondbacks DFA 6-Foot-5 Relief Pitcher

The Arizona Diamondbacks have decided to release relief pitcher Andrew Hoffmann from their roster. The 6-foot-5 right-handed reliever had participated in eight games for the Diamondbacks this season, compiling a 1-0 record, a 7.71 ERA, and 12 strikeouts over 11.2 innings pitched. His last appearance with the MLB team was on April 28, where he allowed seven earned runs in just 0.1 innings pitched against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Off the Diamondbacks' active roster since June due to injury, Hoffmann had also contributed to Triple-A Reno, where he went 1-1 with a 6.08 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 12 relief appearances. Due to ongoing injury concerns, he has been placed on the 60-day injured list prior to being designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks. With Hoffmann now on waivers, teams interested in acquiring additional pitching depth may consider claiming him, although his injury situation could deter some potential suitors.

Over his professional career spanning 19 MLB games across two seasons with the Kansas City Royals and Diamondbacks, Hoffmann has a 1-0 record, a 6.85 ERA, and 24 strikeouts.
