The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned reliever Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A Reno following Saturday’s doubleheader in San Diego.
Strzelecki joined the club Saturday as doubleheaders allow for teams to add an additional 27th man to their rosters.
He went 1.1 innings pitched, one hit allowed and walked two batters but did not allow a run.
He had recently struggled in Reno prior to joining the big league club, posting a 5.87 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and six walks over 15.1 innings. However, he does have the ability to punch batters out, recording 20 strikeouts over that time.
