Diamondbacks Outright Peter Solomon

By Darragh McDonald | June 2, 2023 at 9:50am CDT

The Diamondbacks have sent right-hander Peter Solomon outright to the Triple-A Reno Aces, per his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week.

Solomon, 26, was once an intriguing prospect in the Astros’ system, having been drafted by that club in the fourth round in 2017. However, he required Tommy John surgery in 2019 and then the minor leagues were canceled by the pandemic in 2020, leading to a significant gap in his development. He seemed to get back on track in 2021, posting a 4.70 ERA for Triple-A Sugar Land in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He also made his major league debut with a 1.29 ERA in six relief appearances.

In 2022, the Astros kept him in the minors and his results took a step back. His ERA ticked up to 5.20 and his peripherals went in the wrong direction at Triple-A as well. His 26.3% strikeout rate from 2021 dropped to 20.5% and his walk rate went from 9.9% to 10.2%. He was put on waivers in September and was claimed by the Pirates. He made four appearances for their Triple-A club as the season was winding down but was outrighted at season’s end.

He came to the Diamondbacks this winter via the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. He was selected to the big league roster in early April but was shelled for a 12.15 ERA in five long relief outings. He got optioned back to Triple-A Reno but has posted a 9.69 ERA for that club. The club needed a roster spot when prospect Kristian Robinson was coming off the restricted list and Solomon was the casualty.

Since Solomon has a previous career outright, he has the right to reject this assignment and elect free agency, though it’s not publicly known if he has chosen to do so.

    Now he’s just filler until another needs to be moved up from AA.

    On Kristian Robinson’s 3 games at A Visalia..in those games he went 2 for 4 with a stolen base, 2 for 4 with a HR and 1 for 4 with his second stolen base. He needs to be moved up to High A Hillsboro to be challenged.

      Fingers crossed he’s on that Corbin Carroll career trajectory; looking really good and not even needing to sell out in his swing.

      Have you watched any of him in the field? I know they moved him out of CF, but that was the projection even before we came into a cluster**** of CFs at the upper levels.

        I think it’s touch and go as to whether or not you’ll get to see him later this month when Visalia travels to San Bernardino!

        Back in 2019, Robinson was already at the Low A level. The Dbacks wanted to give him a soft landing as he got back into Affiliated ball. But in the last 3 1/2 years the developmental staff has worked tirelessly with Kristian, and now at age 22, he’s mature enough, confident enough and talented enough to make that same rapid ascent through the minors you referenced Carroll making.

    Robinson for Soloman… nice upgrade to the 40-man roster. Dbacks 40-man starting to look like that of a contender. More work to be done for sure, but they have some high floor depth in place and more high upside guys on the way. Good time to be a Dbacks fan.

      Agree. This series with the Braves should tell us a bit more about how competitive the Dbacks are at this point in the season.

      We all knew that the Dbacks had a good chance to be very competitive by the end of the season. The young, starting pitchers had to establish themselves during the season and replace Bumgarner and Davies by the All-Star break.. Surprisingly, it’s Tommy Henry who has gone furthest at this point to establish a position in the rotation. I think Nelson is starting to get there too. And Jameson in the bullpen is looking better and better.

      The other part was the bullpen. This year’s group is much better than last year’s disaster, although that’s not saying much. Statistically, they are middle of the league as opposed to almost dead last a year ago.

      The right handed bats have also been a huge improvement over last year. And some of the young, lefthanded hitting OF are faring better against left handed pitching this year.

      To me, the team is ahead of my (lofty) pre-season expectations. I’m going to the game again tonight to see how they fare against a good team. That does not mean I’m dubious about this sweep against a bad team (the Rockies). Good teams need to make hay against the weaker teams in the league to finish in the hunt in September!

        The Dbacks are ahead of my expectations so far this year, as well. And that’s with no assistance from MadBum (at all) or Davies (to date), and the young SPs proving to be inconsistent at best. I agree that Pfaadt, Nelson, Jameson, etc will be better moving forward as progress at the major league level is not linear. Add a couple BP arms via better health and the trade deadline, as well as, a veteran innings eater and the Dbacks will be in the hunt all season.

        Have fun at tonight’s game. This weekend will be a great test for the Dbacks. That said, the opening couple of weeks against the Dodgers, Pads and Brewers were a good test, as well.

          The Braves have some pretty fun players to watch also! We’re all jealous about those highway robbery extensions lol.

          This should be a fun series for baseball fans regardless of the winner.

          Great game last night. Both teams made great defensive plays. Classic pitcher’s duel. Fans for both teams were great.

          The surprise was that BOTH team’s bullpens blanked the opposing hitters in the 8th and 9th innings! It wasn’t surprising that Atlanta’s bullpen held the Dbacks in check. The Dbacks bullpen was the surprise! Adams and Castro were outstanding.

          In the top of the 9th, the Braves got two cheap/flukish hits, the second one dribbled through the infield in the spot vacated by Ahmed as he went to cover second on the steal attempt. Give Atlanta their due, they put those balls in play. But the Dbacks were unlucky too. They didn’t play bad defense on those plays and Castro only allowed weak contact. But then the Dbacks defense stiffened and Castro continued to execute good pitches.

      DBacks 40-man is mighty cluttered; Lewis, Mantiply, and Misiewicz are all still on there, but: Kelly, Melancon (hopefully not), and Sulser would need to be added back before they can be reactivated.

      Canzone and Kennedy look like they may be worthy of an MLB shot, then we also still have to “worry” about: Cecconi, Jarvis, and Walston (who are all not ready to differing degrees, but still need to be added to the 40-man at season’s end) plus having to eventually add back Martin.

      There are a lot of movable pieces there, and it’s kind of hard to see logical names for drops outside of the guys with 1 year left (Ahmed, Davies, Gurriel, or Longoria; dropping Melancon doesn’t help if he never hits the 40) or the low cost additions (like Adams or Pilkington; maybe Ruiz if some bullpen flexibility is necessary). We may be nearing the point that Frias wears out his welcome as well.

      The only 40-man name that’s not at least in AAA is Robinson; the 40-man is in a GREAT spot that’ll get even better as the AAA guys improve.
