Hager signed a minor-league contract with Chicago on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Hager will join Triple-A Iowa to serve as organizational depth. He's appeared in only one game this season in the Arizona Complex League, and his last big-league action dates back to the 2022 campaign with the D-Backs. Hager slashed .240/.345/.280 with three RBI and four runs scored during that 28-game stint.

Hager was released by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hager saw a little action in the majors from 2021-22 but has spent all of 2023 at Triple-A Reno, posting a .716 OPS with three homers in 56 games. The 30-year-old will now try to find another organization.

Hager was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hager was re-signed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training at the end of January. The infielder will provide some infield depth at Triple-A Reno for the upcoming campaign.

The Diamondbacks announced Saturday that Hager was re-signed on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to MLB spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Hager concluded the 2022 season as a member of Arizona's 40-man roster and 28-man active roster before being outrighted to Triple-A Reno in early November. Rather than electing free agency and trying his luck elsewhere, the 29-year-old will stick in Arizona's organization and compete for a utility role in spring training. During his sparse action in the majors in 2022, Hager slashed .240/.345/.280 across 59 plate appearances.

Hager had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hager was removed from Arizona's 40-man roster in late August but will rejoin the big club for the final few days of the season. The 29-year-old has appeared in 28 games this season and has a .240/345/.280 slash line with three RBI and four runs scored.

Hager was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hager will head to the waiver wire following Monday's transaction. Reyes Moronta was added to the 40-man roster in Hager's place.

Hager was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hager was with the major-league club since mid-May, but he saw sporadic time in the starting lineup over the last month. The 29-year-old has hit .240 with two doubles, four runs and three RBI over 28 games in the majors this year, but he should see more consistent at-bats in the minors. Sergio Alcantara was added to Arizona's active roster to serve as a utility man.

Hager went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Hager's three hits were all singles. In the fourth inning, an error after one of his singles led to two runs for the Diamondbacks, and he added a bases-loaded RBI single in the fifth. The 29-year-old recorded his first multi-hit game Friday. He's likely to remain in a utility role while in the majors, as he's hitting just .219/.342/.250 through 39 plate appearances this season.

Hager started at shortstop for a resting Geraldo Perdomo and went 1-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Hager's started two games in a row, including as a fill-in at third base for Josh Rojas on Tuesday. The utility infielder should stick around for a while after the Diamondbacks shifted shortstop Nick Ahmed to the 60-day injured list Wednesday. Hager has started games at second base, third base and shortstop this season, while also pitching one-third of an inning.

Hager is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Hager went a collective 1-for-9 with two walks and an RBI while starting each of the past three games at second base, but he looks set to move into a full-time reserve role moving forward after Ketel Marte (hand) was cleared to return to the lineup Thursday. Once outfielder/designated hitter Cooper Hummel (illness) is activated from the COVID-19-related injured list, Hager is expected to be returned to Triple-A Reno.
