Anthony DeSclafani

Anthony DeSclafani has elected free agency.

The 35-year-old right-hander exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league pact with the Yankees and Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that DeSclafani has already reached an agreement to join the Diamondbacks. It’s not yet clear whether or not it will be on a major league or a minor league contract. DeSclafani has made five starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on the season, compiling a 4.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and a 20/9 K/BB ratio over 20 innings of work. He’ll help to add rotation depth for the D’Backs in the wake of losing Corbin Burnes for the season.
