The Arizona Diamondbacks announced three roster moves on Thursday ahead of their matchup with the Washington Nationals.
Infielder Matt Davidson was selected from Triple-A Reno to the big league roster while Corbin Martin was optioned to the Nevada-based affiliate.
Additionally, the team designated pitcher Matt Peacock for assignment.
Davidson could add some much needed pop to a D-backs’ lineup that ranks last in batting average and third-to-last in runs scored to start off the season, despite blasting off for 11 runs on Wednesday against the Nationals.
