The Arizona Diamondbacks made a couple of roster moves ahead of Monday night’s game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
The D-backs placed shortstop Nick Ahmed on the injured list and selected infielder Jake Hager from Triple-A Reno.
However, there was no injury designation for Ahmed in the team’s press release.
This marks the second IL stint for Ahmed this season after beginning the year on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.
