Fuentes was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Fuentes appeared in 95 major-league games in 2021 and slashed .225/.257/.351 with seven home runs, 33 RBI and 30 runs, but he was optioned to Albuquerque in early September. He'll presumably be in the mix for a big-league roster spot ahead of the 2022 campaign.
