Almora signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Almora had previously been in Miami's organization, posting a .604 OPS with one home run and four steals over 44 games with Triple-A Jacksonville until he was released last Thursday. The veteran outfielder hasn't played in the majors since 2022, when he got into 64 contests with Cincinnati. Almora has had some big-league success in the past -- he swatted 12 homers with 32 RBI over 130 games with the Cubs in 2019 -- but will likely need to impress in Arizona's minor-league system to get another look at the highest level.

The Marlins signed Almora to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Almora, who turns 31 in April, spent the 2024 season at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization, putting up a .787 OPS with nine homers and 20 steals. He last appeared in the majors in 2022 and, even with the lack of talent on the Marlins' projected major-league roster, is likely to begin 2025 at Triple-A Jacksonville.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Almora to minor-league camp Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Almora was brought into D-backs camp as a non-roster invitee and had an outside chance at winning a spot on Arizona's Opening Day bench, but he will end up missing the cut after going 4-for-22 with a homer and three RBI during Cactus League play. The 29-year-old outfielder will head to Triple-A Reno to begin the season.

Almora was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Almora has a .223/.282/.349 slash line with five home runs, 29 RBI and 26 runs in 64 games for Cincinnati this year, but he's now been removed from the 26-man and 40-man rosters. The 28-year-old could report to Triple-A Louisville or elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Almora (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 9-3 loss Tuesday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Almora hit second in the Reds' lineup and played center field in his first appearance since Aug. 19. He reached on a fielder's choice and scored in the first and walked in the fifth. Going into play on June 8, Almora had produced a .309/.325/.420 slash line in his first 23 games. Since then he has a .172/.258/.306 line and has seen his season OPS drop to .631. Almora has started at least 15 games at all three outfield spots but may struggle to find regular playing time down the stretch with Jake Fraley, Nick Senzel, TJ Friedl, Aristides Aquino and Stuart Fairchild all battling for playing time.

Almora (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday but he is not in the lineup against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
It's a little odd that he is active but not in the lineup against southpaw Wade Miley, but he will presumably be available off the bench. Almora hit .200/.357/.289 with zero home runs and one steal in 15 August games.

Almora (shoulder) reported to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
According to Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Reds manager David Bell said that Almora will likely need around three rehab games to get ramped back up, so the veteran outfielder could be a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list later this weekend. Whenever he's activated, the righty-hitting Almora will likely serve primarily as a short-side platoon mate for one of the Reds' two lefty-hitting regulars in the outfield, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley.
