The Diamondbacks granted right-hander his release from their Triple-A affiliate in Reno, MLBTRs Tim Dierkes reports. Hed been with the Aces all season and is now a free agent. McAllister, 35, hasnt pitched in the big leagues since 2018. He spent six Klim Kostin Jersey years as a steady back-of-the-rotation starter and then middle reliever in Cleveland, pitching to a combined 3.84 ERA with a 21.4% strikeout rate and 8% walk rate in 529 innings of work. McAllister fell off quickly, however; he was rocked for a 6.20 ERA in 45 frames during the 2018 season and hasnt pitched at the MLB level since. McAllister had brief stints with the Triple-A affiliates for the Dodgers (2019) and Phillies (2021) but didnt reach 15 innings in either of those seasons. He to sed 67 2/3 frames of 3.99 ERA ball with the Cardinals top minor league club last year, striking out 30% of his opponents along the way, and has a 4.93 ERA in 38 1/3 Triple-A innings with Reno this season. Its an ugly number on the surface, though its worth pointing out just how hitter-friendly the Pacific Coast League is; nearly two-thirds of PCL pitchers with 30 or more innings this year have an ERA north of 5.00. McAllister has again fanned 30% of his opponents in 2023, although his 11.2% walk rate leaves plenty to be desired. With the D-backs not giving him a look before todays out date, the veteran righty will head back to the market in search of a new opportunity with a club in clearer need of bullpen depth.
