The Arizona Diamondbacks have secured a $1.5 million, one-year contract with reliever Paul Sewald, marking his return to the team that reached the World Series in 2023. This agreement comes after Sewald's impressive performance in the postseason, where he recorded six saves in eight scoreless innings across the first three rounds. However, his World Series performance was less stellar, as he conceded six runs in just two innings. To accommodate Sewald's return, the D-backs have moved right-hander Justin Martinez to the 60-day injured list due to an elbow surgery. This move signifies a strategic adjustment to the team's roster, aiming to bolster their chances in the upcoming season.
