LOS ANGELES – Maybe this was a move which should have come earlier in the season for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Then again, this was likely a consequence of the protracted and elongated major league baseball season.
In a series of moves before Saturday’s game with the Los Angeles Dodgers here, the Arizona Diamondbacks said farewell to righty Josh Collmenter and outfielder Michael Freeman. These players were designated for assignment. If not claimed by another team within in the next 10 days, each is released outright.
At the same time, the club sent left-hander Zac Curtis to Triple-A Reno, and recalled Adam Loewen and Steve Hathaway, a pair of lefties from the Triple-A Aces.
