Baragar, who will go to Triple-A, was pitching in indy ball and had a 2.25 ERA and an 18/5 K/BB ratio in 16 innings for Lancaster of the Atlantic League. He had a 2.78 ERA in 45 1/3 major league innings with the Giants in 2020 and ’21.

Baragar signed a minor league contract last December with the Guardians and never wound up getting the call to Cleveland. The 29-year-old lefty holds a solid 2.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings (49 appearances, one start) in the majors since 2020.

Baragar will attempt to win a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen during spring training after spending all of last season stationed at Triple-A Reno for the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old southpaw holds a strong 2.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings (49 appearances, one start) in the majors since 2020.

Baragar passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week and will remain with the Diamondbacks as organizational relief depth. The 27-year-old left-hander made 25 relief appearances last year at the major-league level with the Giants.
