Leyba had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old was designated for assignment in November but will rejoin the 40-man roster while Arizona battles through a rash of injuries. Leyba went 7-for-25 with an .807 OPS in his first taste of big-league action during 2019, and he didn't see the field last year.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Leyba on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba's chances of securing an Opening Day role with the Diamondbacks were effectively dashed after he was outrighted off the 40-man roster in November, but he still got the opportunity to compete for a job this spring. The 25-year-old wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunities, however, going 5-for-34 in Cactus League play before being reassigned. Expect him to report to Triple-A Reno when its season begins in May.

Leyba was outrighted to Triple-A Reno by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old missed the entirety of the 2020 campaign while serving an 80-game suspension after testing positive for PEDs, and he's now been removed from Arizona's 40-man roster. Leyba made his major-league debut in 2019 and went 7-for-25 with two doubles, a triple, six runs and five RBI.

Leyba completed his suspension and was added to the active roster Monday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba was issued an 80-game suspension in March after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, but he'll be eligible to return for the start of the 2021 season after missing the entirety of the 60-game 2020 campaign. The 25-year-old should compete for a utility role during spring training after making a nice first impression over a limited sample in the majors in 2019.

Leyba received an 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba was called up for his major-league debut in September and made a quality first impression with a .280/.367/.440 slash line in 21 games, and he had a chance to begin the season in a utility role for the Diamondbacks. The 24-year-old will instead miss the first half of the season.

Leyba went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 4-2 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba started at second base, his second start since being called up for September. With Ketel Marte (back) shut down for the remainder of the season, there could be an opportunity for the switch-hitting infielder when the Diamondbacks want to give Wilmer Flores a break.

Leyba was recalled from Triple-A Reno prior to Friday's game against the Reds. He is not in the starting lineup.

EDGE Analysis

He's not particularly toolsy, but Leyba is still somewhat interesting in deeper dynasty leagues. He hit .300/.351/.519 with 19 home runs while striking out just 15.7 percent of the time in 498 plate appearances at Triple-A. Leyba, who turns 24 on Sept. 11, is capable of playing all over the infield and should work in a utility role over the rest of the season.

Leyba was optioned to Triple-A Reno following Thursday's game against Milwaukee, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a walk over six games during his latest trip to the big leagues. Taylor Clarke (back) will be activated from the injured list Friday to take Leyba's spot on the 25-man roster.

Leyba was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With David Peralta (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Leyba will return for his second stint with the big-league team. Leyba has posted an impressive .304/.356/.558 line with Reno this season, but he did not make a start during his prior stint in the majors and will likely be used sparingly this time around as well.

Leyba was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Leyba spent just four days with the Diamondbacks, making four appearances off the bench and going 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Jake Lamb (quadriceps) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.
