The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled rookie outfielder Cooper Hummel and optioned first baseman Pavin Smith to Triple-A Reno, the team announced Saturday afternoon.

Hummel started the year with the big-league club and drilled his first career home run during the fourth game of the season.

He hit a walk-off double on May 31 in the 10th inning against the Atlanta Braves to complete a four-run comeback.

The D-backs optioned him to Triple-A on June 11 after his slash line in 41 MLB games was .178/.308/.317.

Hummel hit .346 with a pair of home runs in 14 contests on the Aces before the recall.

The 27-year-old has played both corner outfield spots and catcher for Arizona this season.

Smith heads to Reno for the first time in his career. The 2017 first-rounder made his MLB debut in 2020 and has not played in the minors since.

The lefty’s numbers are down this year from his first two MLB seasons with a slash line of .207/.291/.362. His career OPS entering 2022 was .733.

Smith got off to a strong start before he started to struggle in the second week of May. After May 6, he is hitting .171.

Hummel is in the starting lineup Saturday for Arizona’s matchup against the Colorado Rockies.
