Rotowire
The Diamondbacks optioned Kaiser to Triple-A Reno following Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Kaiser was called up by the Diamondbacks on Aug. 1 and saw his first major-league action since 2023, when he was a member of the Rockies. He appeared in five games (four starts) and went 2-for-14 (.143 average) with two RBI over that span. Kaiser will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to infielder Ildemaro Vargas (foot), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Diamondbacks' Connor Kaiser: Starts at 2B
Rotowire
Kaiser started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.
Kaiser, who gave Ketel Marte a day off at second base, played in the majors for the first time since 2023. With Blaze Alexander serving as the primary third baseman following Arizona's trade of Eugenio Suarez, Kaiser can fill the utility infielder role that once belonged to Alexander.
The Diamondbacks selected Kaiser's contract from Triple-A Reno on Friday.
Kaiser joined Arizona on a minor-league contract in November and will receive his first look in the majors since 2023. The 28-year-old had a .236/.346/.423 slash line with six homers and two steals in 65 games for Reno this season and should serve as a utility infielder for the Diamondbacks.

Rotowire
Kaiser signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday and received an invitation to spring training.
Kaiser spent all of 2024 with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .221/.343/.339 across 347 plate appearances. While he'll have an opportunity to play with the Diamondbacks in spring training, the 27-year-old infielder seems destined to begin the 2025 season with Triple-A Reno.

Rockies' Connor Kaiser: Moves to MiLB camp
Rotowire
The Rockies reassigned Kaiser to minor-league camp Sunday.
Kaiser reached the big leagues for the first time in 2023, logging four plate appearances over three games with Colorado. The 27-year-old infielder was moved off the Rockies' 40-man roster last July and was attending camp as a non-roster invitee, but he wasn't a serious candidate to be included on Colorado's Opening Day roster. He'll likely begin the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Rockies' Connor Kaiser: Gets first MLB call-up
Rotowire
The Rockies selected Kaiser's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. He'll start at shortstop and bat ninth in the Rockies' series opener in Cincinnati.
The 26-year-old will reach the big leagues for the first time in his career, joining the Rockies' 26-man active roster to provide added depth in the infield while shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (personal) is on the paternity list. Colorado will most likely send Kaiser back to Triple-A on Friday, when Tovar presumably rejoins the team for the start of a homestand.
