The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned left-hand starter Tommy Henry to Triple-A Reno following a poor outing, while bringing up left-hand reliever Brandon Hughes to bolster the bullpen.

By the Numbers
  • Tommy Henry had a season ERA of 7.04 in nine games, pitching 38.1 innings with the Diamondbacks.
  • Brandon Hughes has a 2.33 ERA in 27 innings with Reno this year and a 3.12 ERA in 58 innings during his rookie year with the Chicago Cubs.
State of Play
  • Zac Gallen is nearing a return after missing all of June with a left hamstring strain, potentially impacting Hughes' spot on the roster.
  • Merrill Kelly aims for a mid-August return, while Eduardo Rodriguez's return after the All-Star Break remains uncertain.
What's Next

Zac Gallen's potential return on June 29th against the Oakland Athletics could provide a significant boost to the Diamondbacks' pitching rotation.

Bottom Line

The Diamondbacks' roster moves reflect a strategic shift to address pitching challenges and potential reinforcements that could improve the team's performance in upcoming games.
