The Diamondbacks have designated lefty Will Locante for assignment, per a team announcement. His 40-man spot will go to reliever Tyler Clippard.
Locante, 26, scuffled to a 5.79 ERA in 42 innings at the Double-A level last year. While he’s shown big strikeout ability in the low minors, he’s also struggled with his command, and that was never more true than in 2015. Locante ended the season with 8.1 K/9 against 7.3 BB/9.
Lefty with big strikeout potential. Twins need to take a look at him. Never know…
If Jon Rauch was a lefty
