The pitcher formerly known as Jimmie, latterly James, Sherfy, was released by the Diamondbacks tonight. He had been on the 60-man expanded roster, but had not been called up to the majors this season. Originally a 10th-round pick for the Diamondbacks in 2013, he reached the show in late August 2017, and made a name for himself by posting a zero ERA over 11 appearances. He is the only pitcher with a 0.00 season ERA and 10+ innings of work in his first campaign, since Mike Hinckley in 2008.
He extended the streak with three more scoreless appearances in May 2018, but was optioned back down, and it felt as if the team had suddenly soured on him.
