The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled right-handed pitcher Jimmie Sherfy from Triple-A Reno on Monday.
The move puts the D-backs active roster at 32 players.
“Yesterday’s game impacted that decision,” manager Torey Lovullo said.
“We used a lot of guys. Just figured it’d be good to get as many guys here as possible so we don’t run into that situation again.”
