Ahead of Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, the Arizona Diamondbacks recalled right-handed pitcher Silvino Bracho from Triple-A Reno.

Bracho has appeared in six games this season out of the bullpen, carrying a 7.50 ERA.
The Diamondbacks made room for Bracho by optioning fellow right-hander Zack Godley to Reno following Friday night’s crazy 10-9 win over Colorado.
Godley (1-0) appeared in six games as well, five out of the bullpen, with a 4.35 ERA.

In Triple-A, Bracho holds a 0-1 record with a 3.12 ERA. Arizona hopes his time back in Reno will help solidify his presence in the bullpen moving forward.
Arizona (36-40) is currently five-games behind in the Wild Card race.
