The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled utility man Andrew Young from the Triple-A Reno Aces on Tuesday.
Additionally, the team optioned pitcher Alex Young to the Aces following Monday night’s 7-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
In 26 games this season, Andrew Young is hitting .206 with a .945 OPS. He’s tallied four home runs, nine RBIs, seven runs scored and four walks, while striking out 18 times.
The move comes after Arizona placed outfielder Ketel Marte on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring on Monday.
