The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned left-handed pitcher Anthony Misiewicz to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
The move comes one day after the D-backs acquired the 28-year-old reliever from the St. Louis Cardinals for cash considerations.
Right-hander Corbin Martin was also transferred to the 60-day injured list with a right lat tendon avulsion. Martin was placed on the 15-day IL on Thursday before Arizona’s season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
