Baragar (forearm) was released by the Guardians on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bargar has been on the minor-league injured list since late June due to a forearm issue and had struggled to a 6.54 ERA in 31.2 innings with Triple-A Columbus when healthy. The 29-year-old left-hander will look to latch on with a new organization.

Baragar was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Baragar lost his spot on the 40-man roster April 6 after failing to make the big-league club out of spring training. He threw 23 innings with San Francisco in 2021 and posted a very capable 1.57 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, though he had a less impressive 16:12 K:BB.

The Diamondbacks designated Baragar for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Baragar had already missed out on a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen after he was optioned to Triple-A Reno last week, but now he'll hit the waiver wire for the second time in less than a month after being booted off the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster. If he goes unclaimed, Baragar will stick around in the organization and report back to Reno.

EDGE Analysis

Baragar was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Monday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com
EDGE Analysis
Baragar picked up seven holds for the Giants in 2021 and posted a 1.57 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 23 innings across 25 relief appearances. The Diamondbacks have a strong group of late relievers in Mark Melancon, Ian Kennedy and J.B. Wendelken, but Baragar should compete for a late-inning role if he continues to perform well in 2022.
