Right-handed pitcher Bryan Shaw has been promoted from Triple-A Reno, while Left-hander Zach Kroenke has been optioned to Reno, according to D-backs’ Executive Vice President and General Manager Kevin Towers.

Kroenke is 0-1 with an ERA of 9.00 and has let opponents hit .333 off of him in the four games he has appeared in for the Diamondbacks.

The 23-year-old Shaw has 10 combined saves this season with Reno and Double-A Mobile. Shaw pitched in 23 games, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.37 ERA.

Shaw has been in the minor leagues for four seasons and will wear number 37 when he joins the team in Florida.
