Reyes Moronta News
The Texas Rangers have reportedly signed relief pitcher Reyes Moronta to a minor-league deal, per a tweet from The Athletic's Levi Weaver on Wednesday morning. Weaver tweeted the following: "Source: the Rangers have signed right-handed reliever Reyes Moronta to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league camp. Moronta, 30, pitched for Bruce Bochy in SF in 2017-19." Moronta split time between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks last season, throwing 37.2 innings over the course of 39 appearances. He also added 38 strikeouts, 18 walks, and a pair of saves in the process to go along with a 4.30 ERA and a 4.41 FIP. The veteran will give the Rangers some additional bullpen depth heading into the 2023 campaign. Texas' current late-inning bullpen options include Joe Barlow, Brock Burke, Jose Leclerc, and Brett Martin.
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Reyes Moronta picked up his first save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Moronta threw a scoreless and hitless inning while walking none and striking out one in the outing. The 29-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment by the Dodgers a month ago, but he landed with Arizona and got his first save of the year against his former team. The D-backs are currently using a closer committee with Ian Kennedy, Joe Mantiply and Mark Melancon, but Moronta could be added to that mix over the final weeks of the 2022 season. He's pitched well in 9 2/3 innings for the Snakes, allowing only three earned runs on six hits while walking three and striking out eight.
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Reyes Moronta has been designated for assignment on Saturday. The Dodgers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster after Dustin May (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list. The 29-year-old has compiled a 4.18 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 27:10 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings of relief (22 appearances) on this season.
