Archie Bradley is going to have to wait for his official Major League debut.
The Arizona Diamondbacks announced Thursday they had reassigned the right-hander to minor league camp, essentially ending his bid to be a part of the team’s starting rotation on Opening Day.
Bradley, 21, will report to the Triple-A Reno Aces.

Entering Thursday, Bradley had pitched 8.1 innings in Cactus League play, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out 10 and walking six.
He got the start for the D-backs in an exhibition game against the Australian National Team, but struggled in that outing, too.
