Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo took the loss to the Giants today, giving up five runs -- four earned -- in the ninth inning.

Jason Ellison hit a grand slam off him. Acevedo still has a chance to win a bullpen spot, but he's something of a longshot.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Arizona catcher Chris Snyder said that Juan Acevedo has looked good in camp.

''The velocity is there, the cutter is sharp, and he's got good movement on his change-up,'' Snyder said. ''Yeah, I've been impressed.'' If he does manage to make the team he'll be used in middle relief.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks signed RHP Juan Acevedo to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Acevedo has been a bust the last two years, but there's a chance he could reemerge as an average middle reliever. It's not very likely that he'll make the Diamondbacks out of spring training.

Pirates released RHP Juan Acevedo from Triple-A Nashville.

Acevedo had a 9.00 ERA in 23 innings for Nashville.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo has been suspended five games by the PCL after his ejection from a game Wednesday.

Acevedo is 0-3 with one save and a 10.13 ERA for Nashville. He shouldn't be missed.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo gave up three runs in one inning of work for Triple-A Nashville on Friday night.

Those NL-only leaguers that drafted Acevedo with the hope of cheap saves can safely drop him off their reserve list.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo took the loss in the Pirates game today, allowing three runs on one hit while issuing three walks in the eighth.

Acevedo is a candidate for the Pittsburgh closer job, but didn't help himself here.

Mon, Mar 8, 2004 07:30:00 PM

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Pirates signed RHP Juan Acevedo to a minor league contract.

Reason No. 349 why you don't claim Jason Boyd off waivers and then keep him on the 40-man roster all winter. Acevedo is at least as good of a bet in 2004. He'll compete for a bullpen spot in spring training.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Blue Jays released RHP Juan Acevedo.

Acevedo had a decent 4.26 ERA in 14 relief appearances for the Blue Jays, but his WHIP was a hideous 2.05. It doesn't seem very likely that he'll get another chance to pitch in the majors this season.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo was charged with three earned runs and a loss Wednesday against the White Sox.

Acevedo was pulled after loading the bases in the ninth. All three runners scored off Dan Reichert. Acevedo is a shell of his former Tiger-self, but the Blue Jays don't have many choices in late inning situations. They expect Cliff Politte back next week, and he should get his job back.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Juan Acevedo blew the save for the Jays tonight, giving up one run in 1 2/3 innings against the Red Sox.

Acevedo retired four straight batters before giving up a walk, a stolen base and a single with two outs in the ninth inning. On the stolen base, Manny Ramirez, thinking he had ball four, walked right in front of the catcher as he was trying to throw to second base. A game-ending interference call probably should have been made, but it wasn't, and the Red Sox won in extra innings.

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Blue Jays reinstated RHP Juan Acevedo from bereavement leave.

Acevedo, who had been away to attend a funeral, is expected to receive save opps until Cliff Politte returns.

Thu, Jul 3, 2003 10:32:00 PM

Juan Acevedo - R - Diamondbacks

Manager Carlos Tosca said Juan Acevedo will get a trial as the Blue Jays closer when he returns from bereavement leave.

Why? Because he's done it before. Who cares if he's been awful this year? Acevedo is worth picking up in AL-only leagues, but there's a good chance he'll continue to struggle.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Miguel Montero
	2	Wil Nieves
1B	1	Paul Goldschmidt
	2	Eric Hinske
2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. Aaron Hill (hand) experienced no problems when taking live batting practice on Friday, and will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Saturday. Hill will remain with Triple-A Reno through Wednesday, and if all goes well could be cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' lineup as early as next weekend. Hill has been limited to just ten games on the season after sustaining the hand injury in early April. Jun 14
	2	Willie Bloomquist
	3	Josh Wilson
SS	1	Cliff Pennington
	2	Didi Gregorius
3B	1	Martin Prado
	2	Eric Chavez D.L. Eric Chavez (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week. "Everything has been good -- hitting, running, throwing," Chavez said. "I didn't know really what to expect, but [it's] gone really good." Chavez has already missed three weeks of action and doesn't figure to be activated until the tail end of June, at the earliest. Jun 19
LF	1	Jason Kubel
	2	Gerardo Parra
CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Adam Eaton (elbow) played in a simulated game on Saturday. Eaton served as the designated hitter, as he's still on a throwing program and can't play the outfield yet. The Diamondbacks have been mum on a timetable for the outfielder, but it's possible he could return prior to the All-Star break if he can avoid another setback. Jun 16
	2	A.J. Pollock
RF	1	Cody Ross
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ian Kennedy Suspended Ian Kennedy has dropped the appeal of his 10-game suspension and will begin serving it on Monday. Kennedy doesn't think he deserved 10 games for his role in last week's brawl with the Dodgers, but with the D'Backs having a couple off days over the next week, it makes sense to drop the appeal. He'll be eligible to return on June 29. Jun 17
	2	Brandon McCarthy D.L. Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. It will be his first since a nagging shoulder injury sent him to the disabled list in late May. McCarthy was cleared to throw from the bump after long-tossing from 105 on Monday with no issues. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment, but a return early next month seems likely. Jun 17
	3	Trevor Cahill Sidelined Trevor Cahill (hip) is expected to be ready for his next start. Cahill had to leave Wednesday's game after taking a first-inning Marcell Ozuna line drive off his right hip. His removal was a precaution, though, and he'll be fine for a start early next week against the Nationals. Jun 19
	4	Wade Miley
	5	Patrick Corbin
	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Daniel Hudson has suffered a re-tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. Terrible news. Hudson, who had Tommy John surgery last July, suffered the re-tear during an extended spring training start on Tuesday. The 26-year-old right-hander was originally hoping to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation around midseason, he's now likely facing another surgery and an additional year of recovery time. Just brutal. If you had him stashed in a DL spot in your fantasy league, feel free to drop him now. Jun 7
	7	Randall Delgado
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Thursday. He'll remain with Reno through next Tuesday, as the D'Backs want him to appear in back-to-back games before being activated. Heath Bell has been scored upon in each of his last three outings and seems likely to cede the closer job back to Putz. Jun 18
	2	Heath Bell
	3	David Hernandez
	4	Matt Reynolds D.L. Matt Reynolds has been diagnosed with a slight tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Reynolds will receive a second opinion, but the plan for now is to shut him down for six weeks before he can hopefully begin a throwing program. Of course, anytime the UCL is compromised, the possibility of Tommy John surgery is there. Either way, it's unfortunate for the D'Backs bullpen, as Reynolds holds a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season. Jun 11
	5	Brad Ziegler
	6	Josh Collmenter
	7	Tony Sipp
