Pache signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pache spent time with the Orioles, Marlins and Phillies last season, finishing with a .552 OPS and 16 RBI across 183 total plate appearances. Barring a drastic turnaround at the plate in spring training, the 26-year-old outfielder will likely report to Triple-A Reno to begin the new season.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins designated Pache for assignment Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pache was claimed off waivers in early August but produced just a .518 OPS in 35 games and had been playing sparingly of late. The transaction frees up a spot for Dane Myers' (ankle) return to the active roster.

Pache is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
With Derek Hill (shoulder) requiring a trip to the injured list, Pache seemed to have settled into a regular role in center field, making four straight starts from Tuesday through Friday. However, Pache now finds himself on the bench for the third straight contest, with all three absences coming against right-handed starters. Pache looks like he may have to settle for the short side of a platoon in center field with either Kyle Stowers or Javier Sanoja.

Pache went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Getting his first start for Miami in center field and batting seventh against southpaw Max Fried, Pache picked up his first steal of the season. The 25-year-old appears to be on the short side of a platoon with Nick Gordon in center for the Marlins, but Pache's elite defense could allow him to claim more playing time if he can make any kind of contribution with his bat. While Pache's .209/.296/.273 slash line in 125 plate appearances between the Phillies, Orioles and Marlins is poor, Gordon hasn't been much better with a .227/.258/.369 line.

The Marlins claimed Pache off waivers from the Orioles on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pache is known for his superb center-field defense but has put up just a .570 OPS through 119 plate appearances this season between the Phillies and Orioles. He could get some run in center field in Miami for a rebuilding Marlins club.

The Orioles designated Pache for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Just six days after being traded from Philadelphia to Baltimore, Pache will now lose his roster spot with the Orioles in order to help make room for new additions Eloy Jimenez and Austin Slater. The 25-year-old Pache appeared in three games for the Orioles and tallied a hit during his lone at-bat with the team, though he still holds a middling .570 OPS through 119 plate appearances on the season.

The Orioles acquired Pache and reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Phillies in exchange for outfielder Austin Hays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Pache has filled a short-side platoon role in center field for Philadelphia at times this season, and a similar role could await in Baltimore. Pache's strength is his defense with plus-three DRS in 50 games this season, but he hasn't offered much offensively in 2024 with a .202/.288/.269 slash line and 36.4 percent strikeout rate.

Pache will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Even though both he and Johan Rojas are right-handed hitters, Pache appears to have taken hold of the short side of a platoon in center field. Pache will be included in the lineup for the Phillies' third straight matchup with a lefty (Marco Gonzales) while Rojas sits.

Pache will start in center field and bat eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
When Johan Rojas was sent down, the expectation was that Pache would be due for an uptick in playing time in center field versus left-handed pitching. However, he's in Tuesday's lineup against righty Michael King in just the second game since Rojas' demotion. Brandon Marsh will play left field and David Dahl will be on the bench.
