Munson (shoulder) was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Monday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. | ||||||
Munson made it as far as Triple-A Reno in the organizational ladder, but he's pitched with Double-A most recently. He's now fallen further out of favor, and is no longer a member of the club's 40-man roster. | ||||||

Munson (shoulder) was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday. | ||||||
Munson had yet to appear in a Cactus League game this spring as he is dealing with general shoulder/elbow soreness. The 26-year-old will have the chance to pitch in minor league camp once he reports no longer feeling any pain, and will likely begin the season with Triple-A Reno after posting a 2.60 ERA in 56 games at that level last season. | ||||||

Munson has yet to appear in a Cactus League game due to general soreness, the Arizona Republic reports. | ||||||
Manager Chip Hale mentioned that they weren't sure whether the root of the issue was a elbow or a shoulder injury, but reported that Munson was examined and "everything looked good." The team is playing it safe with the 26-year-old, so he'll likely be held out of spring league action until he's no longer reporting any pain. | ||||||

Munson is competing for a bullpen spot in camp with the Diamondbacks this spring. | ||||||
Last season, he carried an 82:22 K:BB over 62.1 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Reno. If he sticks with the Diamondbacks out of camp, Munson projects to work in middle relief. | ||||||

Munson was added back to the 40-man roster by the D-backs on Thursday, the Arizona Republic reports. | ||||||
After being selected by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft last winter, the D-backs were able to get Munson back in March. This time around, they have decided to protect him after a step forward at Triple-A Reno in 2014 that included an 82:22 K:BB over 62.1 innings out of the bullpen in the Pacific Coast League. | ||||||

Phillies returned RHP Kevin Munson to the Diamondbacks. | ||||||
The Rule 5 pick held a 1.29 ERA but walked eight over seven Grapefruit League innings. Control has always been his issue, and he'll now have more time to work on it in the minors. | ||||||
