The Arizona Diamondbacks shuffled their pitching staff Wednesday, recalling Zack Godley from Double-A Mobile and optioning Chase Anderson to Triple-A Reno.
Godley, 25, went 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA in three starts for the D-backs this season. He struck out 17 in 18 innings pitched.
Anderson, 27, is 5-5 with a 4.51 ERA this season.
Even with the swap, it does not appear Godley will reclaim his spot in the starting rotation.
Godley will not be moving into Anderson's rotation spot. He'll pitch out of the bullpen.

I'm told the Dbacks are still mulling over the candidates to replace Anderson in the rotation.

The D-backs are set to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday evening in the final game of a three-game series. First pitch is slated for 4:05 p.m.. The teams split the first two games, with Arizona winning Monday and the Pirates coming through in 15 innings Tuesday.
