Roster moves
The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves and have 40 players in camp.
Reassigned to Minor League camp:
- RHP Isaiah Campbell
- RHP Shawn Dubin
- RHP Thomas Hatch
- RHP Bryce Jarvis
- C Matt O’Neill
- OF Oscar Mercado
- OF Kristian Robinson
No major surprises here. The best known name is probably Jarvis, who has appeared 67 times for the D-backs over the past three seasons. However, he was designated for assignment in December, and subsequently taken off the 40-man roster.
After Taylor Clarke, pitchers likely to appear include LHP Brandyn Garcia, RHP Drey Jameson, RHP Juan
Morillo, RHP Shawn Dubin and RHP John Curtiss. All except Dubin, who was on the reassigned list above, are still potentially contending for a spot in the bullpen. Garcia is the most likely: he and Morillo have each tossed four scoreless innings this spring. But Brandyn has the advantage of being a southpaw, something in perilously short supply for the Diamondbacks. I’ll get an updated Opening Day roster prediction written up, and likely posted tomorrow night.
No broadcast again today, but things improve over the weekend, with three consecutive Dbacks.TV games.
