Diamondbacks' Brett de Geus: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
De Geus was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Friday.
De Geus struggled to a 7.56 ERA in 50 innings of relief in his big-league debut last season, striking out just 17.2 percent of opposing batters while walking 10.5 percent. He's just 24 years old and had strong numbers in the minors in 2019, which could incentivize a team to take a chance on him, but he'll make way for new acquisition Jordan Luplow (ankle) on Arizona's 40-man roster after the veteran outfielder came over in a trade with the Rays.

Diamondbacks' Brett de Geus: Snares win Wednesday
Rotowire
De Geus (3-2) allowed a run and struck out one over a scoreless sixth inning to pick up the win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
De Geus came into a tied game then benefitted from Arizona's bats coming alive in the final innings. A Carson Kelly pinch-hit home run in the seventh followed by a David Peralta two-run double in the eighth secured the win for the reliever, who has a 5.51 ERA since the Diamondbacks claimed him off waivers from the Rangers in June. That represents an improvement after de Geus pitched to an 8.44 ERA while with Texas. It's unclear how the Diamondbacks view the 23-year-old, who was a Rule 5 pick during the offseason. Given that his highest minor-league level was High-A before pitching in Texas this season, the Arizona organization may want to let him finish out the season in the big leagues then develop more fully in the minors next year.

Rotowire
De Geus (2-0) earned the win Wednesday versus Pittsburgh. He allowed an inherited runner to score on a walk, taking a blown save in two-thirds of an inning.
De Geus wasn't charged with the run -- that went on Joe Mantiply's line instead.

Through 34.1 innings, the 23-year-old right-hander has a 7.08 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB between Arizona and Texas.
