"Baker was on the major league roster for a little less than two weeks. He was called up on April 7 as a bench bat once the Snakes lost Carlos Santana to an adductor strain."
"The righty hitter owns a .206/.314/.333 batting line across 194 plate appearances at the big league level. Baker mashed a combined 65 home runs in Triple-A between 2023-24."
"Baker is out of minor league options, so the D-Backs needed to run him through waivers to take him off the MLB roster. It'd make sense for him to remain in the organization given their lack of established first basemen."
Luken Baker was outrighted to Triple-A Reno after being designated for assignment by the D-Backs. He had a short tenure on the major league roster, making only one start and recording a .206 batting average in 194 plate appearances. This marks his fourth consecutive season with MLB experience, transitioning from the Cardinals to the D-Backs. Baker is out of minor league options, and the D-Backs may retain him due to their lack of established first basemen amid injuries to other players.
