This move is somewhat surprising, as Jameson had an impressive spring, posting a 1.59 ERA with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings. He'll aim to build on that success in Triple-A while positioning himself for a potential call-up later in the year.

Jameson is set to pitch in a game for the first time since July 2023 after missing the last year and a half recovering from Tommy John surgery. His rehab has gone smoothly, and he built up to bullpen sessions late last season before ramping up this spring.

A return to health for Jameson would be a boon for the D-backs. He posted a 3.32 ERA across 15 outings in 2023 after debuting with a 1.48 ERA in four starts in the 2022 campaign.
