Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The Arizona Diamondbacks have selected the contract of infielder LuJames Groover, a 24-year-old second-round pick from the 2023 draft. To make room on the active roster, infielder José Fernández was optioned to Triple-A Reno, and right-hander Taylor Rashi was designated for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot. Groover is known for his plate discipline but has questions about his power impact. He missed time in 2024 due to a broken wrist, playing only 61 games, but stayed healthy last year.
