Negron was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.
EDGE Analysis
Negron was the roster casualty the Diamondbacks needed to clear a spot on their roster for Jon Jay, who was acquired from the Royals via trade Wednesday. The 32-year-old was hitting .259/.355/.382 across 55 games with Triple-A Reno prior to being cut loose. The utility man will now take a spin through waivers to determine where he'll report next.

The Diamondbacks recalled Negron from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Negron was brought up to take the roster spot of Socrates Brito, who was sent to Reno in the corresponding move. Negron saw action at the three infield spots left of first base, in center field, and also right field, so he figures to fill a superutility role with the big club.

The Diamondbacks reassigned Negron to their minor-league camp Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Negron was always viewed as a long shot to win a utility gig with the Diamondbacks with Chris Owings and Daniel Descalso both capable of playing multiple positions across the infield and outfield. It's expected that Negron will spent much of the season at Triple-A Reno, with whom he slashed .300/.366/.501 in 437 plate appearances prior to being called up to Arizona in September.

Negron cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Negron spent most of 2017 with Triple-A Reno, compiling a respectable .300/.366/.501 line with 13 homers and 13 steals in 120 games before earning a September promotion. His minor-league success didn't transfer to the majors, and he struggled to a .160/.300/.200 line in 25 at-bats during his brief stint with the big club, prompting the Diamondbacks to drop him from their 40-man roster ahead of spring training. He'll likely return to his role as an organizational depth piece in 2018.

Negron started in left field and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Negron made three consecutive starts shortly after joining the Diamondbacks as a September callup, but the 31-year-old has mostly been a spectator ever since, with his start Tuesday marking just his fourth appearance in the last 13 contests. With most of the team's regulars back to full strength, Negron isn't expected to see an uptick in usage over the final week and a half of the regular season.

Negron went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs in Monday's 13-0 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Rich Hill on the mound for Los Angeles, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo chose to give the lefty-hitting Ketel Marte the day off, opening up shortstop for Negron, who was part of the wave of September callups last weekend. Negron turned in a quality showing at the plate as the Diamondbacks claimed their 11th straight win, and may have earned himself more work against left-handed pitching in future contests. Since he has the ability to man multiple positions in the infield or outfield, Negron won't necessarily be relegated to duties at shortstop whenever he plays.

Negron was promoted to the big leagues Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Negron's contract was selected prior to Friday's game against the Rockies, as the Diamondbacks began adding players to their expanded roster. The infielder hasn't played in a major-league game since 2015 when he was a member of the Reds, but he's slashed .300/.366/.501 with 13 home runs and 64 RBI in 120 games for Triple-A Reno, and will add more depth to the Arizona infield.

Negron was reassigned to minor league camp Friday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Negron hit three home runs this spring, but he was caught up in a numbers game on the roster. He'll likely spend the season with Triple-A Iowa.

Negron hit a home run against the Mariners on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Negron is not going to make the team this spring, but as someone with major league experience who can play all over the field, he could be a valuable part of the organization should injuries strike.
