Melancon receives a $2 million buyout and heads back to free agency after not throwing a pitch for Arizona this past season due to a right shoulder strain. The 38-year-old reliever’s career could potentially be over at this juncture, but it’s possible he’ll get a shot next spring to compete for a roster spot somewhere else. He’s tallied 262 career saves over 732 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2009.

Melancon opened the 2023 campaign on the injured list with a right shoulder strain and isn't expected to return until sometime after the All-Star break.

Lewis landed on the injured list back in early April with an undisclosed illness and there have been almost zero updates ever since. The positive news is that it sounds like he's doing okay and will continue to work himself back into game shape in Arizona. No word yet on when he'll potentially be an option again for the Diamondbacks.

The 38-year-old was expected to miss an extended period, and the Diamondbacks need him to fill his spot on the roster with Peter Solomon and José Ruiz joining the 26-man roster.
