The Diamondbacks have hired former reliever Burke Badenhop as a baseball operations analyst.

Badenhop, who turns 34 in February, made three appearances with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate last season before being released. He owns a 3.74 ERA over 418 appearances in the majors, but he has apparently decided to call it a career. Badenhop is expected to do acquisition-based pitching analysis and sports science work in his new gig. Jan 25 - 11:44 AM

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Rangers released RHP Burke Badenhop.

Badenhop signed a minor league contract with Texas at the end of spring training, a week after getting released from Nationals camp. The right-hander had allowed eight hits and five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock. He turned 33 years old in February.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Rangers signed RHP Burke Badenhop to a minor league contract.

The Nationals had released (and then re-signed) Badenhop in late March, then released him (again) on April 1. A cruel April Fool's joke, indeed. The 33-year-old right-hander will join the Rangers system as minor league bullpen depth. Last season, he pitched to a 3.93 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 36/20 K/BB ratio across 66 1/3 innings while dealing for the Reds. Badenhop will likely see time in the majors in various spots depending on when the Rangers need an extra bullpen arm.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Nationals released RHP Burke Badenhop; re-signed him to a minor league contract.

Badenhop was reassigned to minor league camp last week and the club was ultimately able to work out a deal to keep him around. The veteran reliever posted a 3.93 ERA over 68 appearances last season with the Reds and will provide some bullpen depth in the minors.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Nationals reassigned RHPs Burke Badenhop, Erik Davis, and Michael Brady to minor league camp.

None of the cuts are a surprise. Badenhop came into camp with a decent chance to make the team, but he gave up seven runs on eight hits and six walks over six innings of work this spring.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

MASN's Mark Zuckerman said it's unlikely that both Burke Badenhop and Matt Belisle will make the Nationals' Opening Day roster.

Assuming the Nationals stay relatively healthy this spring, Badenhop and Belisle will be competing for one bullpen spot. Belisle had a better year in 2015 but he's two years older than Badenhop and is coming off minor elbow surgery. Both players signed minor-league deals with Washington earlier this week.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Nationals signed RHP Burke Badenhop to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Badenhop owned a modest 3.93 ERA over 68 appearances last season with the Reds. It's a decent low-risk move for the Nats this close to camp.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Reds declined RHP Burke Badenhop's $4 million option for 2016.

They'll pay him a $1.5 million buyout instead. Badenhop posted a 3.93 ERA over 68 relief appearances in 2015, striking out only 36 over 66 1/3 innings. He'll find a job somewhere this winter as a groundball specialist.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Reds signed RHP Burke Badenhop to a one-year, $1 million contract.

The deal includes a mutual $4 million option for 2016 with a $1.5 million buyout, guaranteeing Badenhop $2.5 million in the deal. The 31-year-old right-hander is coming off a terrific 2014 season where he posted a 2.29 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 40/19 K/BB ratio in 70 2/3 innings for the Red Sox. He's likely to work in a setup role for the Reds.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

A source tells FOX Sports' Jon Morosi that the Blue Jays have kept in touch with representatives for free agent Burke Badenhop.

Morosi reported last week that the Jays were among the clubs talking with Badenhop. Another team reported to be interested, the Nationals, recently signed Casey Janssen -- the Jays' former closer -- likely taking them out of the mix. Badenhop had a 2.29 ERA in 70 2/3 innings with the Red Sox last season, and his familiarity with the AL East could be viewed as an asset by the Jays.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that the Nationals and Blue Jays have been in touch with free agent reliever Burke Badenhop.

Badenhop turns 32 in February and posted a 2.29 ERA and 40/19 K/BB ratio across 70 2/3 innings with the Red Sox last season. He doesn't strike out many guys, but he induces a ton of grounders and should be a serviceable middle reliever for someone.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated Saturday that they are interested in bringing back impending free agent Burke Badenhop.

Farrell cited the right-hander's reliability the past few years as the reasoning. He has excelled in his first season in Boston, compiling a 2.33 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 39/19 K/BB ratio over 69 2/3 innings.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Burke Badenhop got the loss on Tuesday as the White Sox defeated the Red Sox 2-1 on a walk-off throwing error by Xander Bogaerts.

Badenhop wasn't sharp in the ninth inning, trying to keep a tie game intact. After allowing two singles (lead-off man Alejandro De Aza was caught stealing after his hit) and issuing another walk, Marcus Semien knocked a ball to Bogaerts, who made a low throw which couldn't be dug out by first baseman Mike Carp for the third out of the inning, allowing the White Sox to walk off as 2-1 winners. Badenhop hasn't been reliable in five appearances to start the season, allowing runs in each of his last four appearances.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Red Sox and RHP Burke Badenhop avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.15 million contract.

The 30-year-old was acquired from the Brewers earlier in the offseason. He posted a 3.47 ERA in 62 1/3 innings of relief in 2013. He'll be part of the Red Sox' bullpen in the upcoming season.

Burke Badenhop - R - Diamondbacks

Red Sox acquired RHP Burke Badenhop from the Brewers in exchange for LHP Luis Ortega.

Over the last two seasons, Badenhop has posted a 3.25 ERA and identical 42/12 K/BB ratios across 62 1/3 innings. The sinkerballer made $1.55 million in 2013 and is arbitration-eligible for a final time this winter. He should make for a solid middle reliever in Boston.

Ahmed sustained a small fracture in his right hand after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. Ketel Marte has been called up and should see the bulk of work at shortstop moving forward, with Chris Owings likely to take on more work in the outfield. Ahmed is expected to miss about two months of action. Jun 28

	2	Yasmany Tomas 10-Day DL Yasmany Tomas has been diagnosed with a mild right groin strain. This is a more serious issue than the groin tendinitis he had been dealing with. Tomas, who originally landed on the disabled list June 6, was pulled off his rehab assignment over the weekend and will now probably remain sidelined through the end of July. Chris Herrmann and Daniel Descalso have been patrolling left field for the Snakes. Jul 4
CF	1	A.J. Pollock
	2	Reymond Fuentes 10-Day DL Diamondbacks placed OF Reymond Fuentes on the 10-day disabled list with a left thumb contusion. The move clears a roster spot for J.D. Martinez, who was acquired from the Tigers on Tuesday evening. Fuentes could be ready in 10 days, but the Diamondbacks might opt to send him back to the minor leagues at that point. Jul 19

	6	Shelby Miller 60-Day DL Shelby Miller underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Wednesday. The procedure went according to plan, per the Diamondbacks. Miller will miss the remainder of the 2017 season and probably the first half of 2018 as he works his way through the typical 12-15 month rehab process. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA in 24 starts since joining the Diamondbacks ahead of the 2016 campaign. May 11

	7	Steve Hathaway 60-Day DL Diamondbacks transferred LHP Steve Hathaway from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Gregor Blanco. Hathaway is coming back from a shoulder injury. May 5
	8	Randall Delgado 10-Day DL Diamondbacks placed RHP Randall Delgado on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation. It's not terribly surprising that Delgado's elbow is acting up given how he's been jerked around in different roles this season. How long he'll be sidelined isn't known at this point. Jul 16
	9	Rubby De La Rosa 10-Day DL Diamondbacks placed RHP Rubby De La Rosa on the 10-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. His roster spot has already been absorbed by Jake Barrett. De La Rosa has posted an underwhelming 5.40 ERA over six appearances for Arizona this year, though all the runs he allowed came in a loss to the Cardinals on June 29. He shouldn't miss much time.
