With all these frequent flyer miles, Arizona Diamondbacks relievers Silvino Bracho and Jimmie Sherfy are set to vacation wherever they want over the offseason.

But they’re barely halfway through the season, so they have plenty of time to continue accumulating.

Before the D-backs game Sunday, Bracho was called up from Triple-A Reno. Arizona sent Sherfy back down.

Sherfy has gone through a wild weekend. After getting called up Tuesday, he was optioned Friday, re-joined the D-backs on Saturday and is now heading back to Reno.

He pitched two innings Saturday night, marking his first appearance in the big leagues since May. Sherfy went two innings, giving up a home run, which is the first regular-season run allowed of his career.

Bracho has pitched 11 games for the D-backs this season. He sports a 1.42 ERA and has only given up a run in two appearances.

After Sunday’s game concludes, the D-backs will have seven more games before getting their first day off since June 20.
