The Arizona Diamondbacks designate Emiliano Fruto for assignment
The D-Backs have designated 24-year old right handed pitcher Emiliano Fruto for assignment. Fruto pitched in 49 games (4 starts) in AAA this season for the D-Backs and he was 6-6 with 2 saves, a 5.26 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP. Fruto had control issues that held him back with the D-Backs as he walked 59 batters in 89 innings of work in AAA. The D-Backs likely won’t lose much sleep over letting him go.
