Drey Jameson: Everything you need to know

The Diamondbacks recalled Jameson from Triple-A Reno on Saturday. The move corresponds with Kade Strowd being optioned to Reno following Friday's game against the Nationals. Jameson has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 7.33 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 23.1 innings. He appeared in three regular-season games for the Diamondbacks in 2025, when he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over three innings while logging one save.

The Diamondbacks optioned Jameson to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports. After being limited to 17 total innings between three levels during the 2025 season while contending with elbow problems, Jameson has been healthy for spring training but didn't pitch well enough to win a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen. He'll head to Reno after turning in an 8.44 ERA, 2.44 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB in 5.1 innings over five Cactus League appearances.

Jameson (elbow) tossed a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday during an appearance in the Arizona Fall League. After missing the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jameson was back to full health for the start of spring training, but he made just three appearances for Arizona and 16 in the minors before being shut down in late June when he developed a bone fragment chip in his surgically repaired elbow. Though Jameson didn't return to action before the end of the minor-league season, he avoided another procedure on his elbow and looks like he'll be in line for a normal offseason following a stellar relief appearance Tuesday. Jameson needed only eight pitches to retire the side, generating three groundballs while sporting a fastball that topped out at 99.4 miles per hour. Jameson, who maintains a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, is expected to compete for a bullpen role with the big club this spring.
