Preview #74: 6/21 @ Pirates

A roster move was made by the Diamondbacks since the last game. Matt Koch was optioned down to Reno, with Jake Barrett called up to take his spot. This is just a short-term move: it was officially (if rather cryptically) announced by the team who’ll be starting on Monday, in Koch’s spot.

Clearly, it’s that highly-touted Dominican prospect Conchwasp Budweiser... Barrett will provide a bit of additional bullpen support for this series (shame we can’t bring Braden Shipley back up, purely for trolling purposes!), and it also means Shelby Miller will get as soft a landing as possible, pitching against the Marlins and their 30th-ranked offense in Miami.
