Jacob Amaya: Breaking News

Reassigned to minor-league camp

Amaya was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. Amaya put together a productive spring training after joining Arizona as a non-roster invitee. The infielder batted .341 with two home runs, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases over 44 at-bats in 17 contests. Amaya will likely begin the 2026 campaign with Triple-A Reno, and he certainly did enough during the spring to potentially warrant an elevation to the major-league roster down the road this season.

Nets MiLB deal from Arizona

The Diamondbacks signed Amaya to a minor-league contract Dec. 4. Amaya has a solid glove but has slashed a measly .147/.183/.161 across 154 plate appearances in the majors. He will give the Diamondbacks some infield depth at Triple-A Reno.

Opts for free agency

Amaya elected free agency Friday, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports. Amaya appeared in 37 games for the White Sox this season, but he posted only a .260 OPS while in the majors. He slashed .250/.352/.420 across 219 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte, however, which should be enough for other clubs to be interested in bringing him in on a minor-league contract.
