Law compiled a respectable 1.00 ERA across nine innings for Arizona from late August through mid-September. The 36-year-old journeyman reliever has made 329 career appearances since 2016. He should be able to latch on somewhere as organizational depth this offseason.

Law had been designated for assignment on Wednesday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 36-year-old hurler pitched very well in seven appearances for the Diamondbacks, posting a 1.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 5/2 K/BB ratio over nine innings of work. He’ll continue to operate as extra bullpen depth.

Law loses his spot in Arizona’s bullpen after allowing just one run over nine innings of work since returning to the big leagues in late August.

Law joins Arizona’s relief mix prior to Saturday’s doubleheader against the Giants. The 35-year-old veteran hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign after missing all of last year recovering from flexor tendon surgery. He’s made 322 career appearances in the majors dating back to 2016.

Law, 35, missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a tear in his flexor tendon. He’s expected to be ready to return in April or May. He’ll earn $1.5 million if he makes the Diamondbacks’ active roster and can earn up to an additional $500,000 in incentives. Given his success in the two years before the injury, it makes for a nice low-risk signing for the Diamondbacks.
