Kendall Graveman Designated for Assignment by Diamondbacks After Injury-Plagued Season

Veteran reliever Kendall Graveman has been designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks following a challenging season where he posted a 1-0 record with a 7.13 ERA in 19 appearances. Graveman, who signed in spring training after missing 2024 due to shoulder surgery, also dealt with a hip issue in June and was described by manager Torey Lovullo as "grinding through things." Despite his struggles, the 34-year-old right-hander, who has a 4.03 career ERA over 10 big league seasons, reportedly plans to continue pitching.
