ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS NEWS

Madison Bumgarner - Removed from scheduled start Bumgarner is no longer listed as the scheduled starter for Wednesday against Cleveland, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks now list "TBA" for Wednesday's start, but there is no injury to Bumgarner. Arizona added Triple-A Reno pitcher Tommy Henry to its taxi squad, and Gilbert speculates he could get Wednesday's start. Henry, a left-hander like Bumgarner, has had few clunkers along the way in 2022 but overall has pitched well for Reno, posting a 3.83 ERA over 20 starts in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Emmanuel Rivera - Expected to join MLB roster Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said Rivera is expected to report to the major-league club but the logistics of that have yet to be determined, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Repub...

Impact Rivera gives the lefty-heavy Diamondbacks a right-handed hitter that will likely "see a lot of starts against lefties," either at third base or designated hitter, according to the general manager. Rivera has hit well at Triple-A -- a combined .291 average with 22 home runs over 330 at-bats in 2021 and 2022 -- but is batting just .243 with seven home runs over 288 at-bats in the majors. The minor-league numbers are inflated, given that his home park in Omaha is beneficial for right-handed batters.

Corbin Martin - Optioned to Triple-A Martin was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Martin was knocked around by Atlanta in his last start, so he will return to Reno for the time being. Martin broke camp with the big club back in April, so he will likely get another shot to show what he can do at the top level before the season ends.

Yonny Hernandez - Heads back to Triple-A Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Hernandez did not get into a game after being recalled Friday, and he will head back to Triple-A for the time being. He has had a couple stints with the big club this season, and chances are he will get at least one more before the campaign comes to a close.

Caleb Smith - Diagnosed with fractured hand Smith was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a fractured right hand.

Impact It's unclear how long Smith will need to recover from his injury, but he will be out at least a couple weeks. Kevin Ginkel was called up to take Smith's spot in Arizona's bullpen.

Kevin Ginkel - Joins Arizona bullpen Ginkel was called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Ginkel earned his way onto Arizona's roster by posting a 1.17 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB in 30.2 innings over 30 relief appearances with Reno. Despite the stellar numbers, don't expect him to occupy a key spot in Arizona's bullpen out of the gate.

Zach Davies - Activated for Monday start Davies (shoulder) was activated from the injured list Monday.

Impact It was reported Sunday that Davies would rejoin Arizona's rotation for the opener of their three-game set with the Guardians, and the team made the move official one day later. Davies will attempt to pick up where he left off after posting a 2.56 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in his previous five big-league starts.

Seth Beer - Back with Diamondbacks Beer was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Beer has played for Reno since being optioned there in mid-May, but he will get another chance at the top level after posting a 1.044 OPS over his last 26 Triple-A contests. Beer will serve as Arizona's designated hitter Monday night and is the favorite to be the primary option at that spot moving forward.
