  The Diamondbacks reassigned Almora to minor-league camp Thursday. Almora was brought into D-backs camp as a non-roster invitee and had an outside chance at winning a spot on Arizona's Opening Day bench, but he will end up missing the cut after going 4-for-22 with a homer and three RBI during Cactus League play. The 29-year-old outfielder will head to Triple-A Reno to begin the season.

  09/07/2022 • By RotoWire

  Almora (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 9-3 loss Tuesday against the Cubs. Almora hit second in the Reds' lineup and played center field in his first appearance since Aug. 19. He reached on a fielder's choice and scored in the first and walked in the fifth. Going into play on June 8, Almora had produced a .309/.325/.420 slash line in his first 23 games. Since then he has a .172/.258/.306 line and has seen his season OPS drop to .631. Almora has started at least 15 games at all three outfield spots but may struggle to find regular playing time down the stretch with Jake Fraley, Nick Senzel (ankle), TJ Friedl, Aristides Aquino and Stuart Fairchild all battling for playing time.
