"Amaya joins the system after spending the 2025 season with the White Sox. He appeared in a career-high 36 games but only batted .106 with one extra-base hit (a double) in 73 trips to the plate. The 27-year-old spent the rest of the season with Triple-A Charlotte. He hit .250/.352/.420 with nine homers across 219 plate appearances. He posted decent batted ball metrics but struck out in 29% of his trips to the dish."
"A former 11th-round pick of the Dodgers, Amaya is a light-hitting utility player. He has nearly 5000 professional innings at shortstop and has logged more than 1100 frames at second base. Amaya has played some third base as well and should provide a solid glove around the infield. He'll compete with Tim Tawa for the utility job in camp but is probably ticketed for Reno to begin the season."
"Rashi returns after being non-tendered a couple weeks ago. The Snakes dropped him from the 40-man roster to make room for James McCann, whom they re-signed that day. The 29-year-old righty pitched 10 times this past season, allowing eight runs across 16 1/3 innings. He recorded 22 strikeouts while issuing eight walks. Rashi only throws 90 MPH but turned in an impressive 3.48 ERA while striking out a quarter of opponents over 67 1/3 innings in the Pacific Coast League this year."
Arizona signed infielder Jacob Amaya and right-handed relievers Taylor Rashi and Gerardo Carrillo to minor-league deals, each receiving non-roster Spring Training invitations. Amaya, 27, split 2025 between the White Sox and Triple-A Charlotte, hitting .106 in 73 MLB plate appearances but .250/.352/.420 with nine homers in Triple-A; he has near 5,000 innings at shortstop and over 1,100 at second, and projects as a defensive utility infielder likely to begin the season in Triple-A Reno. Rashi, 29, was non-tendered and removed from the 40-man roster; he posted a strong Pacific Coast League season with a 3.48 ERA and solid strikeout rates. Carrillo, 27, has yet to reach the majors but posted a 3.69 ERA with a 26.8% strikeout rate mostly in Double-A.
