Gustave was released by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Chris Hillburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
Gustave was signed to a minor-league deal by the Diamondbacks in the offseason after being non-tendered by the Brewers, and he struggled to a 16.43 ERA over nine appearances with Triple-A Reno before being placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list late in April. The right-hander is now free to sign with another club, but his lack of success in 2023 could make for a limited market.

Diamondbacks' Jandel Gustave: Receives NRI from Arizona
Rotowire
Gustave signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Gustave has been given an invitation to major-league spring training, where he'll compete for a spot in the Diamondbacks' Opening Day bullpen. The 30-year-old boasts a career 3.56 ERA over 91 relief innings in the big leagues, although he's struck out only 72 despite a fastball which reaches the upper-90s. Gustave's 2022 season ended in August due to a forearm injury, but it would appear doctors in Arizona have cleared him.

Gustave was the second Brewers reliever to enter Tuesday's contest, and he kept the Twins off the scoreboard after the home team tied the game in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Activated by Brewers
Rotowire
Gustave (hamstring) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Gustave hasn't pitched for the Brewers since May 14, but he recently concluded a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville, where he posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in four innings over four appearances. The right-hander should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever for Milwaukee now that he's been activated.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Gustave (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
Gustave sustained a right hamstring strain in mid-May and carried an initial recovery timetable of approximately six weeks. However, the right-hander has now been cleared to return to game action in the minors. It's possible that he'll require multiple rehab appearances prior to rejoining Milwaukee's bullpen, but his stint with the Triple-A club should be the final step in his recovery process.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: To miss approximately six weeks
Rotowire
Gustave is expected to miss around six weeks while recovering from a right hamstring strain, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gustave was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday, and the injury will sideline him for at least the next month and a half. J.C Mejia figures to take his place in the bullpen, but he's unlikely to see many high-levearge opportunities with Brad Boxberger, Devin Williams and Josh Hader holding down the back end.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Moved to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Gustave to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.
Gustave had appeared out of the bullpen in three of the past four days and wasn't likely to be available for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati, so the Brewers opted to swap him off the active roster for a fresh relief arm in J.C. Mejia, who was called up from Nashville. After earning a spot on Milwaukee's Opening Day roster, Gustave appeared in 11 games through the first month of the season and logged a 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 12 innings.

Rotowire
Gustave tossed a scoreless sixth inning and picked up his first hold of the season in Sunday's victory over the Cardinals.
Gustave was hit hard in his first appearance of the season, but he has been sharp since, allowing just one earned run and only two runners to reach base in 3.2 innings over his last three appearances. He figures to continue working in the middle innings out of the Brewers' bullpen.

Rotowire
Gustave allowed an earned run but picked up a save in Monday's spring game.
Gustave was hardly sharp Monday, giving up three hits and walking a batter in the lone inning he pitched, but he still found a way to close the door in the Brewers' penultimate exhibition contest. He will not be in the mix for saves when the regular season begins, but he has sewn up a spot in the Brewers' bullpen. Expect him to work in middle relief.

Gustave signed a one-year, $675,000 split contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Gustave pitched in 14 games for Milwaukee last season and had a 3.44 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB over 18.1 innings. It's a split deal, so figures to end up in the minors at some point in 2022.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Takes loss in relief
Rotowire
Gustave (1-2) was tagged with the loss in relief Friday against the Dodgers after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk across 1.2 innings.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Reinstated from COVID IL
Rotowire
Gustave was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.
The Brewers added a couple arms to bolster the bullpen after starter Freddy Peralta only made it two innings Friday against St. Louis. Miguel Sanchez got the call alongside Gustave, who had been rehabbing at Triple-A Nashville after a positive COVID test in early August. Gustave will look to keep his scoreless streak with Milwaukee intact now that he's back on the active roster.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Starts rehab assignment
Rotowire
Gustave (COVID-19) reported to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander has been sidelined since early August after testing positive for COVID-19, so he'll head to Triple-A to get back up to game speed before being activated. Gustave has given up only three hits with a 4:2 K:BB across seven scoreless frames for the Brewers this season.

Brewers' Jandel Gustave: Comes out of quarantine
Rotowire
Gustave (illness) was cleared to rejoin the Brewers for workouts over the weekend, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Gustave is working out again after completing a 15-day quarantine following his positive COVID-19 test. Even before he was deactivated, the 28-year-old wasn't seeing high-leverage work out of the Milwaukee bullpen, so the Brewers aren't likely to be in any rush to reinstate him from the COVID-19 injured list. He'll likely head out on a minor-league rehab assignment once he gets a few throwing sessions under his belt.

Gustave is considered a close contact after teammates Hunter Strickland and Jake Cousins tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, so he'll be away from the team. As long as the 28-year-old doesn't test positive for the virus, he'll be able to return as soon as he clears the league's protocols.

Gustave served as the 27th man in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets but didn't make an appearance in the twin bill. The right-hander has posted a 3.71 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 17 innings at Triple-A this year, and he should serve as a low-leverage reliever for the Brewers going forward.

Pirates' Jandel Gustave: Joins Pirates on minor-league deal
Rotowire
Gustave agreed to a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Monday, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.
Gustave didn't take long to find a new organization after he declined an outright assignment to the Giants' alternate training site last week when he was removed from the 40-man roster. The right-hander didn't see any action for the big club during the abbreviated season, but he made 23 appearances out of the San Francisco bullpen in 2019, logging a 2.96 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 24.1 innings. He'll claim a spot in the Pirates' 60-man roster pool and report to the organization's alternate site in Altoona.
