Campos

Campos has been limited by injuries over the last couple of seasons, but he was once considered a decent prospect and the 26-year-old right-hander posted good numbers in the 2018 Venezuelan Winter League. He will likely open the 2019 campaign with the Pirates’ Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis.

Campos, who was acquired from the Mariners in the Michael Pineda deal, had a 4.01 ERA and 26/8 K/BB ratio in 24 2/3 innings over his first five starts this season. The timetable for his return isn’t yet clear, but the Yankees are confident he’s only dealing with inflammation.

Campos is far from a throw-in. Armed with a fastball which sits in the low-to-mid 90s, the 19-year-old right-hander has a 3.26 ERA over parts of three seasons in the minors, averaging 8.8 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9. He posted a 2.32 ERA and an 85/13 K/BB ratio over 81 1/3 innings with Low-A Everett last season. While Campos is still a few years away, he has frontline starter potential.

Campos appeared in just five games with Low-A Charleston after being acquired from the Mariners in the Michael Pineda deal last season. The 20-year old has future frontline potential but is likely still a year or two away from reaching the majors.

The 21-year-old compiled a 3.41 ERA and 77/16 K/BB ratio over 87 innings with Charleston this year. The move ensures the right-hander will be protected during the Rule 5 Draft in December.

Campos, 21, has dealt with elbow issues the last two seasons and the Yankees are bringing him along slowly. The right-hander is a nice prospect, but he doesn’t have any experience above A-ball and still needs plenty of seasoning.

He fanned seven and didn’t allow a walk. Campos has made a seamless transition to Double-A, cruising to a 2.08 ERA in his first four starts. The 23-year-old was promoted last month after opening the year with a 4-2 record in 10 outings for High-A Tampa. Between the two levels, opponents have hit just .220 off Campos this season with 82 punch-outs in 305 at-bats.

Campos has battled injuries since landing with the Yankees in the Michael Pineda deal, but he’s been healthy this year and has put up a 3.20 ERA and 105/38 K/BB ratio over 121 innings across three levels. He might ultimately be a reliever in the long run but isn’t a bad pick-up for the D’Backs.

The move clears a 25-man roster spot for Shelby Miller, who will return to the Diamondbacks’ rotation on Wednesday afternoon against the Giants. Campos allowed three runs -- two earned -- in 5 2/3 innings out of the Arizona bullpen. He should get another shot in September.

The D’Backs could use some backup after last night’s game finished in just under five hours. Campos was acquired last month in a deal that sent Tyler Clippard to the Yankees. He’s pitched reasonably well since the trade with a 3.60 ERA over four starts for Mobile. This is the right-hander’s first stint in the big leagues.
