Diamondbacks DFA 9-Year MLB Veteran Pitcher
The Arizona Diamondbacks have made a roster move, as they have designated pitcher Zack Littell for assignment.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have decided to release pitcher Zack Littell from their roster. Littell, a 9-year veteran in Major League Baseball, was initially designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks earlier this month following his release from the Washington Nationals. He had signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks earlier in the season.
Littell's tenure with the Diamondbacks was brief; he appeared in three games for the team, achieving a 1-0 record and a 7.50 ERA. Before joining the Diamondbacks, he had a record of 7-8 with a 4.97 ERA and 70 strikeouts over 23 appearances for the Nationals before his release.
Despite a recent dip in performance, Littell showcased his talent last season with the Tampa Bay Rays and Cincinnati Reds. He posted a 3.81 ERA in 32 games, demonstrating his pitching prowess. Over his nine-season career, spanning from 2014 to 2022, Littell has compiled a 42-37 record, a 4.11 ERA, and 569 strikeouts in 260 MLB games.
