The Diamondbacks parted ways with a pair of high-profile-but-injury-prone players on Monday, nontendering right-hander Taijuan Walker and outfielder Steven Souza Jr.

The club opted to retain infielder Jake Lamb, another player with a similar profile who seemed like a candidate to be cut loose.

The moves, which also included the nontendering of backup catcher Caleb Joseph, save the Diamondbacks roughly $10 million in projected arbitration salaries, according to estimates by MLB Trade Rumors.
