The Arizona Diamondbacks announced the signing of right-hander Paul Sewald to a one-year, $1.5MM contract, pending a physical, while placing Justin Martinez on the 60-day injured list. Sewald returns after a challenging 2024 season marred by injuries, having previously shown strong performance with a 2.88 ERA during his time with the Mariners. This addition comes as the D-backs face injuries to key bullpen players, providing much-needed stability. Given the team’s limited payroll capacity, Sewald’s experience is a low-risk investment for Arizona.
