EDGE Analysis
Bishop was one of three players sent to minor-league camp as Arizona pared down its group at big-league camp to 34 with Opening Day four days away. The 28-year-old outfielder, who saw MLB action with the Mariners in each of the past three seasons, is expected to begin the 2022 campaign at Triple-A Reno.

Bishop has signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop spent most of the 2021 campaign in the minors but played well at the Triple-A level by slashing .319/.383/.533 with 12 homers, 61 runs, 45 RBI and 10 stolen bases across 78 appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see him invited to major-league spring training in 2022.

Bishop was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento after clearing waivers Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco scooped Bishop off waivers May 17, only to designate him for assignment five days later when a 40-man roster spot was needed for starting pitcher Scott Kazmir. None of baseball's other 29 teams were willing to put in a claim for Bishop, so he'll stick in the Giants organization along with younger brother Hunter Bishop, a 2019 first-round pick who's considered one of the top prospects in the system.

EDGE Analysis
Bishop was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday, and he'll now report to Triple-A Sacramento going forward.

Right-hander Reyes Moronta was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Bishop was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was sent down by the Mariners in late April, and he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster as part of a shuffle after Jarred Kelenic's contract was selected Thursday. Bishop went 1-for-4 with a run and two strikeouts in the majors this year.

Bishop was recalled by the Mariners on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop was optioned to alternate camp prior to Opening Day, but he'll rejoin the major-league roster after Jake Fraley (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Bishop should serve as outfield depth for the Mariners while Fraley is sidelined.
