Luken Baker: Breaking News

Returns to Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks brought back Baker on a minor-league contract Tuesday, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports. Baker elected to hit the open market after being designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on April 18. He will end up where he started and join Triple-A Reno.

Hitting open market

Baker elected to enter free agency Monday, per MILB.com transaction log. Baker was initially outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Monday two days after being designated by the Diamondbacks for assignment, but the 29-year-old slugger will open the free market and look to take his talents elsewhere. He slashed .242/.395/.424 with one home run and five RBI across 43 plate appearances with Reno prior to his departure.

Reporting to Triple-A

Baker was sent outright to Triple-A Reno on Monday. Baker was booted from the 40-man roster Saturday, and he'll report to Triple-A after failing to draw interest while on the waiver wire. He's batting .242 with one home run, five RBI and four runs scored across nine appearances this year with the Aces.
