Tristin English: Everything you need to know

Atlanta reassigned English to minor-league camp Saturday. English reached the majors for the first time in 2025 as a member of the Diamondbacks, appearing in seven games while going 2-for-22 at the dish. After being outrighted off the 40-man roster in August and becoming a free agent in the offseason, English signed with Atlanta on a minor-league deal that included an invitation to spring training. While he wasn't able to secure a bench spot on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, English should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis at Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the season.

Atlanta signed English to a minor-league contract Dec. 22. English reached the big leagues for the first time at age 28 for the Diamondbacks in 2025, going 2-for-22 at the plate in seven tilts. He can play both corner-infield spots as well as left field and will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Gwinnett.

The Diamondbacks designated English for assignment Wednesday. English lost his place on the active roster in early August after putting up a .266 OPS through seven games. His Triple-A numbers have been a bit more impressive -- .320/.367/.522 through 344 plate appearances -- but he'll now lose his 40-man spot in favor of right-handed pitcher Taylor Rashi. Despite his poor performance during his brief MLB stint, English's minor-league statline may be good enough for another team to be willing to pick him up off waivers.
