The Diamondbacks reassigned Garlick to minor-league camp Monday. Unless Garlick's minor-league contract contains an opt-out clause that enables him to pursue an opportunity elsewhere, he's expected to remain in the organization and serve as corner-outfield depth at Triple-A Reno. He logged 30 plate appearances at the big-league level with Minnesota in 2023, slashing .179/.233/.429 with two home runs and four RBI.

Garlick signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports. Garlick logged five hits in 28 big-league at-bats with Minnesota last season, but he slashed .242/.346/.450 with 65 RBI across 355 plate appearances in Triple-A. He will have an opportunity to make Arizona's Opening Day roster during camp, but chances are the 32-year-old outfielder fills in as organizational depth with Triple-A Reno.

The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .210/.308/.427 through 143 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, and he would have to be added back to the 40-man roster in order to return to Minneapolis.

Garlick was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Joey Gallo (hamstring) is back from the injured list, so Garlick gets the boot.
