Frankoff was released by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff has been at Triple-A Reno since returning from the 60-day injured list in mid-August, and he'll now head to free agency. The 33-year-old allowed 15 earned runs with an 11:9 K:BB over 14.2 innings (four appearances) with the Diamondbacks before landing on the shelf.

Frankoff (forearm) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff recently made two rehab starts at Triple-A Reno and allowed eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits and six walks while striking out six in 7.2 innings. It's not very surprising to see him remain in the minors since he's posted a 9.20 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in the majors this year.

Frankoff (forearm) completed his second rehab start at Triple-A Reno on Friday, working 4.2 innings while surrendering five runs on four hits and four walks.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks seem to be having Frankoff build up for starting duty during his rehab assignment, but he likely won't be anything more than an insurance option in the event the big club loses a rotation member at any point in the second half. Even if a starting role opens up for Frankoff, he's unlikely to provide much fantasy value after posting a 9.20 ERA and 1.98 WHIP across his 14.2 innings in the majors this season before landing on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm injury.

Frankoff (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff landed on the shelf with soreness in his right forearm June 4, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two months due to the injury. The 32-year-old will be eligible to be activated in early August.

Frankoff hit the 10-day injured list with right forearm soreness Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff has struggled to a 9.20 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in 14.2 innings this season, but it's unclear if those struggles are injury-related. Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Frankoff pitched the eighth inning of Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers, giving up a run on three hits in the 17-pitch appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff had worked as a starter for Arizona in each of his last three outings, but after posting a 9.22 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across those games, manager Torey Lovullo has at least temporarily chosen to remove him from the rotation. Arizona currently has four starters (Zac Gallen, Madison Bumgarner, Taylor Widener and Luke Weaver) on the injured list, but due to a pair of upcoming off days, the team will be able to get by with a streamlined four-man rotation until at least mid-June. Expect Frankoff to continue working in a low-leverage relief role for the time being.

Arizona pitching coach Matt Herges thinks Frankoff may have been tipping pitches in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff was tagged for seven runs on seven hits and four walks Saturday, but Herges wasn't ready to blame the entire outing pitch-tipping. "I think with his change-up sometimes it's a different look (compared to his other pitches)," Herges said. "But he's working hard to figure it out. He's becoming more inconsistent with it, which is a good sign." Frankoff is next slated to pitch Thursday on the road against the Brewers.

Frankoff (0-1) took the loss Saturday against St. Louis, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks with five strikeouts in five innings in a 7-4 defeat.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff's problem inning was the third as he allowed five runs, but the rookie pitched well otherwise. The five innings pitched was his most in three starts this year but the rookie needs to show better than a 9.22 ERA before he can be trusted.

Frankoff (0-1) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two across four innings, taking the loss to the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff made his second start of the season Friday while three regular members of the Diamondbacks' rotation are on the injured list. His start did not go well as he allowed a pair of homers and more runs than innings pitched. The 32-year-old has a 7.27 ERA in 8.2 innings. He has tallied only 13.1 MLB innings throughout his career.

Frankoff is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Rockies in Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Frankoff will be making his second turn through the rotation after he limited the Nationals to two runs over 4.2 innings in his Diamondbacks debut last weekend. Arizona currently has three rotation members on the injured list (Zac Gallen, Luke Weaver and Taylor Widener) and another listed as day-to-day (Madison Bumgarner), so Frankoff could hold down a starting role until the Diamondbacks pitching staff regains some health.
