The Diamondbacks have announced their signing of catcher James McCann<\/a>, which was reported yesterday<\/a>. Fellow backstop Aramis Garcia<\/a> has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move.<\/p>\n

Garcia, 32, went 0-for-4 in his limited time with the D-backs. Arizona selected him to the 40-man roster last week after Gabriel Moreno<\/a> was placed on the injured list due to a broken finger. It appeared as though he might get a bit of runtime with Jose Herrera<\/a> \u2014 typically Moreno\u2019s backup \u2014 struggling in an increased role since Moreno was first banged up. Instead, the D-backs scooped up the veteran McCann, who\u2019s been playing with Atlanta\u2019s Triple-A affiliate but had a rolling opt-out\/upward mobility clause in his minor league deal there.<\/p>\n

Garcia has played in parts of six major league seasons and carries a career .208\/.245\/.321 batting line in 331 trips to the plate. He hit well with the Diamondbacks\u2019 top minor league affiliate in Reno this year, slashing .250\/.399\/.524 in 38 games. Garcia is a lifetime .235\/.306\/.430 hitter in parts of seven Triple-A seasons.<\/p>\n

This is the second time the D-backs have designated Garcia for assignment this year. He cleared waivers the first time and accepted an outright assignment back to Reno. Arizona will have five days to trade him before he has to be placed on waivers, although he can be placed on waivers at point prior to that as well. Waivers are a 48-hour process, so we\u2019ll know within a week\u2019s time how his latest DFA will play out. If Garcia again passes through waivers unclaimed, he\u2019ll have the right to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency (although he also had that right last time around and opted to stick with the D-backs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Diamondbacks have announced their signing of catcher James McCann, which was reported yesterday.
