Exits 40-man roster The Diamondbacks designated Law for assignment Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact A spot on the active roster and the 40-man roster was needed for the return of Ryne Nelson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. Law becomes the roster casualty despite allowing only one run with a 5:2 K:BB over nine innings during his time in Arizona.

Two scoreless frames as opener Law allowed one hit over two scoreless innings in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Royals.

Impact Law served as Arizona's opener in a bullpen game and set the tone by keeping Kansas City off the board for the first two frames. He faced the minimum in the second thanks to Ildemaro Vargas' diving stop and double play, then handed the game to Jose Cabrera. Law threw 19 pitches, 10 for strikes, as the Diamondbacks' pitching staff combined to blank Kansas City through nine innings. Law made his season debut Aug. 29 and has allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out three across 6.2 innings through five appearances.

Scoreless through 9 innings, Arizona plates 5 in the 10th, holds on to beat Kansas City 5-4

Lars Nootbaar had a pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th inning to give Arizona a 1-0 lead, as the Diamondbacks scored five runs and then held on for a 5-4 victory over t...

Opening Monday's contest Law will be the Diamondbacks' opener on Monday in Kansas City.

Impact Law has held the opposition to one run over 4.2 innings with a 3:1 K:BB in four outings for the Diamondbacks since being called up in late August. The club has not revealed the rest of their pitching plans for Monday beyond Law, but Jose Cabrera is a good bet to appear in bulk relief.

Selected from Reno The Diamondbacks selected Law's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact Law returned to action at Reno on Aug. 12 and has since given up five hits and no walks while striking out five batters in 6.1 shutout innings. The 35-year-old will now return to the majors for the first time since 2024 to provide extra depth to Arizona's bullpen ahead of its doubleheader against the Giants. Kohl Drake was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Former Blue Jay Derek Law signs minor league deal with Diamondbacks The 2019 season for the Toronto Blue Jays was a weird year, and one of the staples out of the bullpen has found a new home. On Wednesday, it...

Signs with Arizona Law (forearm) signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Aaron Hughes of SI.com reports.

Impact Law missed all of last season due to a forearm/elbow injury he originally suffered near the end of 2024. He underwent surgery to address the issue in July and will likely remain sidelined until midway through the 2026 campaign. The 35-year-old reliever turned in a 2.60 ERA over 90 innings with the Nationals during his most recent MLB season and could be a factor in Arizona's bullpen once he's cleared to play.
