The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed veteran catcher James McCann, with Aramis Garcia becoming the corresponding move by being designated for assignment. Garcia had a brief performance with the D-backs, batting 0-for-4 during his time with the team. Previously placed on the 40-man roster due to Gabriel Moreno's injury, Garcia's tenure was ended as the D-backs sought a more experienced option. Garcia's minor league stats show promise, but his major league performance has been lackluster, with a career batting line of .208. The team will have five days to find a trade for Garcia before waivers process begins.
Garcia has played in parts of six major league seasons and carries a career .208/.245/.321 batting line in 331 trips to the plate.
Instead, the D-backs scooped up the veteran McCann, who's been playing with Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate but had a rolling opt-out/upward mobility clause in his minor league deal there.
