Diamondbacks Gameday Thread, #51: 5/23 @ Cardinals

The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 39.

  • Reinstated from the 15-day injured list: RHP Justin Martinez (right shoulder inflammation)
  • Optioned to Triple-A Reno following Wednesday’s game: RHP Christian Montes De Oca

That’s got to be one of the longest phantom stays on the D-backs roster ever. Montes De Oca was called up on May 16, and spent almost a week on the active roster, without getting into a game, before being sent back down on May 22. There have been a lot of questions as to what the point was of having a reliever who didn’t get used - especially considering the stress on the bullpen.
