The Cleveland Guardians have release left-hander Konnor Pilkington and have traded him to Arizona Diamondbacks for $100,000, the team announced on Monday.<\/p>\n
Pilkington made 15 appearances for the AL Central champions last season, going 1-2 with a 3.88 ERA. The 25-year-old began this season with Triple-A Columbus before being recalled by the Guardians last week.<\/p>\n
He made a brief appearance against Colorado on April 25, allowing one hit in two scoreless innings with two strikeouts.<\/p>\n
Pilkington became unwanted due to Cleveland\u2019s policy of attracting young talent. Rookies Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee have had a strong start and firmly established their first-team status.<\/p>\n
Pilkington was brought from the Chicago White Sox back in 2018.. In two seasons at Triple-A, he went 3-7 with a 6.37 ERA.<\/p>\n
