The Diamondbacks have outrighted Jake Hager to Triple-A Reno, thus removing the utilityman from the team’s 40-man roster. Hager has spent much of his Arizona tenure in the minors, appear in only nine MLB games since the D’Backs claimed him off waivers from the Mariners on July 30.
The waiver wire has essentially been Hager’s second home for the last four months, as he has been a member of four different organizations in that time. After beginning the season with the Mets, he has been designated for assignment and then claimed three times, going from the Mets to the Brewers to the Mariners before finally landing with the Diamondbacks.
Hager made his MLB debut this season while playing with the Mets, and the 28-year-old’s rookie season has seen him amass 14 games and 30 total plate appearances (batting .115/.233/.115) with New York and Arizona. Drafted 32rd overall by the Rays back in 2011, Hager has hit .258/.313/.385 over 3508 career PA in the minor leagues, with the bulk of that time coming in Tampa and Milwaukee farm systems.

AEW! AEW! AEW!
Wonder who he’s gonna crush next week on Dynamite or Rampage.
Nice young man, trying his best. I wish him luck.
Ahhh the 2011 draft where the Rays had 12 picks in the first 2 rounds and whiffed on 11 of them. Also in a draft that was absolutely loaded with talent and maybe the best 1st round ever!!!
Wonder what AEW has planned for him outside of the inner circle. Too much talent on the card now
