The Diamondbacks released Brown on Sunday. After signing a minor-league deal with Arizona on July 4, Brown didn't receive a call-up to the majors, despite slashing .291/.381/.544 with six home runs over 26 games at Triple-A Reno. Now a free agent, the 33-year-old will look to catch on with another organization in need of experienced outfield depth.

The Diamondbacks signed Brown (elbow) to a minor-league contract Friday. Brown was released by the Athletics on June 26, but after weighing his options on the open market, he's settled on a new landing spot. The veteran outfielder posted a woeful .565 OPS with only one home run and three RBI over 38 big-league games before being let go, though he batted .500 (21-for-42) with seven home runs in just nine contests in the minors following a late-May demotion to Triple-A. Brown had been on the major-league 10-day injured list due to a left elbow injury at the time of his release, but his decision to sign with Arizona suggests that he's healthy again.

Brown (elbow) was waived by the Athletics on Wednesday and elected free agency Thursday, Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors reports. Brown is dealing with a left elbow injury and hasn't played since June 11. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily in the majors this season, slashing .185/.303/.262 with one homer, three RBI and one stolen base over 76 plate appearances, though he's crushed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a 1.583 OPS with seven home runs across nine contests. The Athletics elected to waive Brown on Wednesday, and he has enough MLB service time to have the right to choose to become a free agent. The next team Brown plays for will be new to him, as he was drafted by the Athletics in 2015 and spent his entire MLB career in the organization.

The Athletics placed Brown on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to left elbow lateral epicondylitis. More commonly known as "tennis elbow," Brown's injury has kept him sidelined for the Athletics' past four games and will officially cost him at least another week. He'll be replaced on the active roster by Gio Urshela (hamstring), who was activated off the injured list Tuesday.

The Athletics selected Brown's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. Since being pushed off the Athletics' 40-man roster two weeks ago, Brown has slashed an incredible .500/.512/1.071 with seven homers, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored across 43 plate appearances at Las Vegas. Eager to capitalize on his hot bat, the Athletics will bring him back onto their big-league roster to replace Drew Avans, who was DFA'd in a corresponding move.
