The Arizona Diamondbacks announced several roster moves on Saturday.
The D-backs have placed infielder Asdrubal Cabrera on the 10-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain.
In corresponding moves, Arizona reinstated outfielder Kole Calhoun (strained left hamstring) from the 60-day injured list and recalled infielder/outfielder Andrew Young from Triple-A Reno.
The Diamondbacks have also optioned right-handed pitcher Taylor Widener to Triple-A Reno and designated outfielder Nick Heath for assignment.
