The Arizona Diamondbacks are moving on from one of their pitchers.
According to 98.7 FM Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro, the Diamondbacks are designating relief pitcher Paul Sewald for assignment.

Sewald has struggled this season with the Diamondbacks, so it is not necessarily surprising to see him being designated for assignment. In 45 appearances with the National League West club this season, he posted a 2-5 record to go along with a 6.23 ERA. He also recently lost his role as the Diamondbacks' closer due to his struggles.

Teams looking for bullpen help could consider taking a flier on Sewald now that he has been designated for assignment. While he has had a tough 2026 season, he has shown during much of his career that he can be a solid reliever when performing at his best. Due to this, it will be interesting to see if another team takes a gamble on the 10-year MLB veteran.
In 426 career major league games split between the New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, and Diamondbacks, Sewald has posted a 23-31 record, a 4.30 ERA, 110 saves, and 514 strikeouts. He will now be hoping to get the chance to improve upon these career stats with another team this season from here.
