DeSclafani opted out of his minor league contract with the Yankees earlier this week and winds up latching on with Arizona as extra organizational depth. The 35-year-old righty has made 180 appearances (169 starts) in the big leagues dating back to 2014.

The 35-year-old right-hander exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league pact with the Yankees and Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that DeSclafani has already reached an agreement to join the Diamondbacks. It’s not yet clear whether or not it will be on a major league or a minor league contract. DeSclafani has made five starts at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on the season, compiling a 4.50 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and a 20/9 K/BB ratio over 20 innings of work. He’ll help to add rotation depth for the D’Backs in the wake of losing Corbin Burnes for the season.

He also struck out four and walked three on the day. The veteran right-hander missed all of last season after undergoing flexor tendon surgery, but he has a 4.20 ERA over 942 2/3 innings in his MLB career. Another poor start for Ryan Yarbrough could open up a short-term starting opportunity for DeSclafani until Luis Gil returns from the injured list.

DeSclafani missed all of last year after undergoing surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm. The 35-year-old righty provides the Yankees with some experienced starting pitching depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He’s unlikely to make an impact for fantasy purposes, but could wind up gobbling up some innings for New York at some point later this season.
