The Diamondbacks announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander . Fellow lefty was optioned to Triple-A Reno to open an active roster spot. To get Hughes onto the 40-man, lefty was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Hughes, now 28, had a solid debut with the Cubs in 2022. He to sed 57 2/3 innings that year with a 3.12 earned run average, striking out 28.5% of batters faced while giving out walks at an 8.8% clip. He even moved into a leverage role, securing eight saves and eight holds that year. But he found some struggles last year, going on and off the injured list throughout the season due to left knee inflammation. He made just 17 appearances with a bloated 7.24 ERA before eventually requiring surgery in June. He underwent a debridement procedure on that left knee and wasnt able to return to the big league club Yasmani Grandal Jersey in the final months of the season. The Cubs non-tendered Hughes at the end of last year and he landed with the Snakes on a minor league deal. He has been getting good results in Triple-A so far, with a 1.84 ERA through 14 2/3 innings for Reno. However, those results are in spite of subpar strikeout and walk rates of 20% and 15%, respectively. This is the second time Henry has been optioned, as he has been helping the club cover for some rotation injuries, posting a 5.40 ERA in six starts. Him being optioned today leaves the Diamondbacks with a rotation of , , and , while , and are on the injured list. They will need a fifth starter but not right away. They have an off-day on Thursday and another on Monday, therefore allowing them to use just four starters until next weekend, if they so choose. Manager Torey Lovullo said that Ryne Nelson recently threw a sim game of five innings and 75 pitches, per . That perhaps suggests hes not far off from a return to the club. But for now, Hughes will give Lovullo another bullpen lefty alongside , and . As for the other Nelson, Kyle was placed on the 15-day injured list a week ago due to left shoulder inflammation. Its unclear how long the club expects him to be out of action but this transfer means hes ineligible to be reinstated until mid-June. Bobby Bonilla Jersey
