Arizona released Graveman on Wednesday. Graveman cleared waivers after being designated for assignment Monday, but since he was likely to decline being outrighted to Triple-A Reno, Arizona opted to cut the veteran right-hander loose. The 34-year-old posted a 7.13 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 9:12 K:BB In 17.2 innings for Arizona before being cast off the 40-man roster.

The Diamondbacks designated Graveman for assignment Monday. Graveman has missed a big chunk of the season while recovering from back and hip injuries and hasn't pitched well when available for Arizona, collecting a 7.13 ERA and 9:12 K:BB over 17.2 innings. The 34-year-old is a good bet to go unclaimed through waivers and will have the ability to elect free agency.

The Diamondbacks activated Graveman (hip) from the 15-day injured list Friday. Graveman's one-month stint on the injured list comes to an end Friday, as he'll rejoin Arizona's bullpen in place of Jalen Beeks (back), who's headed to the IL himself. Graveman has allowed eight runs in 8.1 innings across nine appearances with the Diamondbacks this season.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Graveman (hip) will be activated from the injured list, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports. Graveman has been on the shelf since June 9 due to a right hip impingement and began a rehab assignment earlier this week. He threw a scoreless inning with the Diamondbacks' rookie-level Arizona Complex League squad Tuesday. Jalen Beeks (back) is headed to the injured list in a corresponding move.

Graveman (hip) threw a live batting practice session Friday, MLB.com reports. Graveman's session was overshadowed by the hitter he threw to -- rehabbing outfielder Corbin Carroll (wrist) -- but the reliever's activity carries significance. Arizona's bullpen ranks 28th in the majors with a 5.18 ERA, and the team's relief corps has had recent meltdowns in the latter innings of losses. Graveman battled a back injury and missed the first six weeks of the season before a right hip impingement shut him down early in June.
