Diamondbacks' Seth Beer: Loses 40-man spot
The Arizona Diamondbacks designated Seth Beer for assignment Wednesday.The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Brandon Pfaadt, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Reno ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers. The 26-year-old Beer had yet to appear in the majors this season and slashed .200/.266/.314 in 79 plate appearances with Reno.

Diamondbacks' Seth Beer: Swats first spring home run
Seth Beer went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's spring game against the Reds.Beer launched his first Cactus League home run in the first inning. He opened 2022 as part of the DH mix and hit well early, but a prolonged slump prompted a demotion to Triple-A Reno, where he languished with a .796 OPS in a hitter-friendly environment. The Arizona Diamondbacks have a plethora of DH candidates, and there's little room for him at first base, so Beer may have to recapture his offense at Reno in 2023.
