Jumbo Diaz threw an inning against the Chicago Cubs on Friday, in which he allowed a pair of dingers and 4 runs (1 earned) on 3 hits with nary a strikeout recorded. It appears those may well be the final pitches he’ll throw as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, since he was designated for assignment by the team Monday afternoon, according to The Enquirer’s Zach Buchanan.

Diaz, who turned 33 years old just last week, has been a Reds lifer to this point - at least at the big league level.
