Garcia

Garcia returns for another stint with Arizona as emergency catching depth with veteran backstop James McCann hitting the injured list with a quad strain. The 33-year-old journeyman got into three games for the Diamondbacks earlier this season while Gabriel Moreno was on the shelf.

Aramis Garcia served as McCann’s backup while Gabriel Moreno was on the injured list. He could return now to back up Moreno.

Garcia passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from Arizona’s 40-man roster last week. The 33-year-old journeyman backstop got into three games for the Diamondbacks last month.

With Gabriel Moreno (oblique) back from the injured list, the Diamondbacks no longer needed Garcia on the active roster. He went 1-for-3 in three appearances for Arizona this year.

The cosmic ideal of a journeyman emergency catcher, Garcia provides Arizona with some additional depth behind James McCann and Adrian Del Castillo while starter Gabriel Moreno is on the shelf with an oblique strain.

Abner is one of the D-backs best relief pitching prospects — yes, that technically is a thing — but won’t make the Opening Day roster. Garcia and Amaya were both signed as non-roster invites but will either test free agency or report to Reno as well.

Garcia will be in camp next spring as emergency catching depth for Arizona behind Gabriel Moreno and Adrian Del Castillo. The well-traveled soon-to-be 33-year-old backstop got into a pair of contests for the Diamondbacks this past season.

The 32-year-old backstop was designated for assignment earlier in the week after the team signed James McCann. He’ll continue to function as emergency catching depth for the D’Backs at the Triple-A level.

Garcia got into a pair of games for Arizona earlier this month, going 0-for-4 at the dish, while Gabriel Moreno dealt with injuries. The well-traveled backstop has been cut loose with the Diamondbacks opting to roll with more experienced veteran James McCann as part of their catching tandem with Moreno on the shelf.

Garcia will be the backup backstop to Jose Herrera now that Gabriel Moreno is on the injured list with his hand bruise.
