PHOENIX -- The D-backs placed catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on the 15-day disabled list with a strain on the left side of his neck on Friday.
Saltalamacchia's move to the DL cleared a roster spot on the D-backs' 25-man roster for outfielder Ender Inciarte, who was activated on Friday after spending a month on the DL with a strained right hamstring.
Saltalamacchia first felt stiffness in his neck while swinging a bat during the team's two-game series in Texas last week. He then did not start during the three-game series against the Mets last weekend before the All-Star break.
