The Arizona Diamondbacks made a couple of roster moves on Friday ahead of their series opener against the San Diego Padres.
The D-backs announced they have reinstated right-handed pitcher Matt Peacock from the bereavement list.
In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks optioned right-handed pitcher Humberto Castellanos to Triple-A Reno.
Peacock was placed on the bereavement list on Monday, which is used for players who have suffered a death or a serious illness in their family.
