Super Two/Arbitration Update- Jumbo Diaz and Brett Oberholzer

Jumbo Diaz, Houston. Diaz is not on a 40-man roster at the moment; however, he did sign a minor league contract with Houston today.  Currently, the right-handed pitcher has 2 years and 128 days of service time.  If he has his contract selected and returns to the big leagues, he will be right in line for a Super Two designation.  If he is able to accrue at least 44 days of service time in the remainder of the season, he would eclipse the 3-year threshold and bypass the Super Two process entirely.

Brett Oberholtzer, Toronto. The lefty had his contract selected today by Toronto.  This is his first appearance on a big league roster this season.  Prior to having his contract selected, Oberholtzer had 2 years and 127 days of service time.  He needs 45 days of service to hit the 3 year threshold and be arbitration eligible.  At this point, Super Two status is not possible, since Oberholtzer cannot earn the minimum requirement of 86 days on an active roster this season.

UPDATE: On Tuesday(August 1), Oberholtzer was designated for assignment.
