Diamondbacks Designate Tom Wilhelmsen For Assignment

By charliewilmoth | June 11, 2017 at 12:40pm CDT

The Diamondbacks have announced that they’ve reinstated outfielder Socrates Brito (finger) from the 60-day DL and optioned him to Triple-A Reno. They’ve also activated righty Zack Greinke from the paternity list and designated righty Tom Wilhelmsen for assignment.

[Related: Updated Arizona Diamondbacks Depth Chart]

Wilhelmsen was a key contributor in the Mariners’ bullpen from 2011 through 2015, but his career briefly went off the rails after a trade to Texas prior to the 2016 season. He fared reasonably well after being released by the Rangers and re-signing with the Mariners last June, then signed a minor-league pact with the Diamondbacks last winter and made the team out of Spring Training. He produced a 4.44 ERA with the Snakes with a disappointing 5.8 K/9 and 4.1 BB/9 over 26 1/3 innings. The 33-year-old still boasts a fastball in the mid-90s and a 49.4 GB%, however, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he wound up back in the big leagues in the near future.

    Hopefully this opens the door for Jimmie Sherfy to get a callup soon. He’s been lights out at AAA this year.

    Nope, it’s just so they can bring Greinke back, followed by Walker in a few more days. Sherfy still has a few more months to wait. At this point, he isn’t coming up until after the trade deadline, and probably not before September.

    The Nationals might take a flier on him. Their bullpen is their Achilles and Tom has prior experience as a closer.
