PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have hired Jeff Banister as the bench coach for manager Torey Lovullo. The 57-year-old Banister managed the Texas Rangers from 2015 to 2018 and had a 325-313 record while winning the AL West twice. Banister’s hiring comes as Lovullo overhauls his coaching staff following a 52-110 season that was the second-worst in franchise history. Banister replaces Luis Urueta, who is still with the Diamondbacks but will have a new role.
