TL;DR Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated veteran pitcher Madison Bumgarner for assignment, with $34 million still left on his contract, after he struggled in his four starts this season. The D-backs, who lead the NL West, believe their best chance to make a postseason run is by having him off the roster. The decision shows the team's sense of urgency to win now and is one of the worst in D-backs history. Left-hander Tommy Henry will replace Bumgarner in the rotation. The trade deadline will be another opportunity for the team to make moves.
