The Arizona Diamondbacks have parted ways with right-hander Joe Ross, who was released by the Triple-A Reno Aces after a tumultuous stint with the major league team. Initially signed to provide veteran presence in the bullpen, Ross's performance was disappointing, leading to his designation for assignment. He struggled significantly in his major league appearances, recording a staggering 19.64 ERA after allowing eight earned runs in just 3.2 innings. Although he showed some improvement in Triple-A with a 4.29 ERA over 12 appearances, the Diamondbacks have opted to release him, leaving little chance for a return to the major league roster this season. Manager Torey Lovullo acknowledged the challenges faced by the team in terms of pitching depth, noting Ross's inability to perform as expected. With Brandon Pfaadt stepping into the long relief role, the Diamondbacks' bullpen has been performing better of late, despite previous struggles. Ross's release marks a significant moment in a season where the team is looking to solidify its pitching staff.
