The Diamondbacks have sold the rights of RHP Yhency Brazoban to the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball League. As expected. Brazoban, now 31, allowed four runs on eight hits over six innings with the Diamondbacks before being sent back down to the minor leagues earlier this month. Injuries have plagued him ever since a promising rookie season with the Dodgers in 2004.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Yhency Brazoban is on the verge of leaving the Diamondbacks to to sign with Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of the Nippon Professional Baseball League in Japan. Brazoban was sent outright to Triple-A Reno last week after allowing four runs on eights over six innings with the Diamondbacks. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 3.22 ERA and 42/14 K/BB ratio over 36 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Diamondbacks sent RHP Yhency Brazoban outright to Triple-A Reno. Brazoban spent under a month in the majors, allowing a total of eight hits and four earned runs in six innings of relief. He'll now function merely as depth.

Diamondbacks purchased the contract of RHP Yhency Brazoban from Triple-A Reno. Brazoban signed a minor league contract with Arizona in early June after requesting his release from the Rangers. He's posted strong numbers this season at Triple-A, but the 30-year-old hasn't pitched in a big league game since 2008 and is unlikely to have much success.
