The Diamondbacks re-signed Curtiss to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss had chosen free agency after being booted off Arizona's 40-man roster last month, but he's now back in the organization on a new deal. The 32-year-old pitched well in 30 relief outings for the Diamondbacks in 2025, collecting a 3.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB over 36.2. Curtiss is likely headed to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2026 season.

Curtiss cleared waivers Wednesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP alongside a 24:5 K:BB across 36.2 innings. However, with the Diamondbacks aiming to clear roster space before free agency begins, the 32-year-old righty will lose his place on the 40-man. He will have the option to elect free agency.

Curtiss allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss is the 17th player to log a save for the Diamondbacks this season, which has seen the team take a closing committee to the extreme. Andrew Saalfrank has been bothered by shoulder fatigue recently and may not have been available, as he was not deployed despite his last appearance being Tuesday. Curtiss was hit hard in an outing Wednesday versus the Giants, allowing five runs (four earned) without recording an out, but he bounced back well. He's pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 35 innings while adding a save and four holds.

Curtiss (3-1) came away with the win in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Twins, allowing one hit and zero walks while striking out two batters in two scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss was called upon in the ninth inning to keep the game tied at 2-2, and he was brought back for the 10th to protect the Diamondbacks' three-run lead, which he did successfully after striking out Kody Clemens. Curtiss has worked out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen since late June after his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno, and he has a 3.06 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 32.1 major-league innings this season.

The Diamondbacks selected Curtiss's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss signed a minor-league deal with Arizona in February and has posted a 6.34 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over 32.2 innings with Reno this season. While those numbers are poor, the righty has been better of late, tossing 3.2 scoreless frames over his past three outings. To make room for Curtiss on the 26-man and 40-man rosters, the Diamondbacks designated fellow reliever Tayler Scott for assignment.

Curtiss signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Most of Curtiss' time last season was spent at Triple-A Albuquerque, where he turned in a 3.96 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 50 regular-season frames. However, his recent performance in the majors hasn't been as successful, as he's surrendered 14 earned runs in 22 regular-season innings since 2023. He'll have an opportunity to earn a spot at the end of Arizona's bullpen during spring training, but chances are he reports to Triple-A Reno to begin the 2025 campaign.

The Rockies outrighted Curtiss to Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 9.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss would have had the option of electing free agency after he cleared waivers, but he instead chose to stick around in the Colorado organization as relief depth at the Triple-A level. He's made two appearances for Albuquerque since clearing waivers, covering one inning while giving up one earned run on three hits.

The Rockies designated Curtiss for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss joined the Rockies' bullpen in late July and coughed up four runs over 2.1 innings in his three appearances. Chasen Shreve will absorb his roster spot.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss will take Ty Blach's spot on the 40-man and 26-man rosters and will serve as a depth piece for a Colorado bullpen that just traded Nick Mears to the Brewers. Curtiss has made one appearance with the Rockies this season, yielding two runs in one-third of an inning. He logged a 4.03 ERA in 38 innings for Albuquerque.

Curtiss cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss had been designated for assignment after allowing two runs and recording just one out in his lone appearance with the Rockies. While he's no longer on the 40-man roster, it appears he will remain in the organization at Albuquerque as relief depth.
