Arizona Diamondbacks transactions.....DFA, DL Stints, etc

[AZ Native]

We have another starter waiting in the wings.

And, BTW, the D-backs with 3 runs in the 2nd. Pollock with a foul HR followed by a fair one. And Ahmed and Greinke with RBI singles.

OK, who is this starter?

'Sorry, but I can't think of his name off the top of my head, but he was an option when they brought up Koch.

I was leaning towards Shipley but he has not done well latelyl

Oops

It was Shipley whom I had in mind.

I too like Shipley but he has been horrible as late

Steven Souza Jr. played the field in extended spring training for the second straight day today. Playing the field seems to be the final step for him. Said if he was still in the AL, “he could have been DH-ing a long time ago.” #DBacks

Steven Souza Jr. said his rehab has been frustrating because if he were in the AL, he’d be playing. He said he’s had no problems hitting.

Torey Lovullo said Steven Souza Jr. joked that he should be the Extended Spring Training Player of the Month. There is no award for that, unfortunately.

#Dbacks Souza took 2 ABs, played 5 IP in the field in an extended game and stretched out to 150' playing catch. Lovullo: "He’s about as close as you can get.”

#Dbacks reinstate OF Steven Souza Jr. from the 10-day disabled list. Following last night's game, the #Dbacks optioned INF Christian Walker to the Triple-A Reno @Aces.

I am glad to see that Walker will get regular at-bats. We know what he can do when he does. At least in AAA.

The D-backs have sent Kris Medlen back to Reno after his disappointing performance. And have called up Braden Shipley, who is available for relief today in Game 2 vs. the Astros.

Now we can't afford to lose a starting Pitcher. Wasn't Shipley the last starter ready to be brought up?
