Stites was
outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The Diamondbacks designated States for assignment on Jan. 13, and after he cleared waivers, he was outrighted to Triple-A. Stites has yet to impress at the major league level, posting ERAs of 5.73 and 12.46 over the last two seasons, respectively. In all likelihood, he'll begin the year at Triple-A Reno working out of the bullpen.
