Arizona Diamondbacks

edit

On November 24, 2015, Frías signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as an international free agent.[1]

The Diamondbacks added him to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[2] On February 22, 2021, Frías was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list as he continued to recover from the virus.[3] Frías was called up for his MLB debut on September 19, 2021.[4]

Frías was optioned to the Triple-A Reno Aces to begin the 2023 season.[5]

In 7 appearances for the Diamondbacks in 2024, Frías struggled to a 9.95 ERA with 7 strikeouts across 6+13 innings pitched. On August 8, 2024, Frías was designated for assignment following the acquisition of Andrew Knizner.[6]

Toronto Blue Jays

On August 10, 2024, Frías was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays.[7] In 4 games for the Blue Jays, he struggled to a 21.60 ERA with 5 strikeouts over 3+13 innings pitched. On November 4, Frías was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Buffalo Bisons, but he rejected the assignment and elected free agency.[8]
