Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Jose Ruiz reported to the team and is now active Tuesday as the team placed reliever Scott McGough on the paternity list.
McGough has five appearances for the 7-4 D-backs so far this season and has allowed three earned runs over 3.1 innings of work.
The right-hander has allowed three hits — all home runs — but has a save and three holds to one blown save.
Arizona acquired Ruiz from the Chicago White Sox for cash on Sunday after the pitcher was designated for assignment Friday.
