Career
Araújo signed as an international free agent with the Cleveland Indians in 2007.[1] The Phillies signed Araujo to a major league contract on November 13, 2014.[2]
Araújo was promoted to the major leagues on May 2, 2015, making his debut on May 5. He earned his first career victory on May 15. While pitching only 1⁄3 of an inning, striking out the Arizona Diamondbacks' David Peralta to shut down the 7th inning for the Phillies defense, he was the pitcher of record when the Phillies regained the lead in the next half-inning.[3]
On November 18, 2016, Araújo was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.[4] He was designated for assignment on December 23.[5] and subsequently was released.
Following his release from the Marlins organisation, Araújo signed with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball.[6]
