@trcogs I think so.

@JesseNFriedman Intuition would tell me that Brandyn Garcia makes the pen then? Barring an outside signing of course

The Diamondbacks have optioned LHP Philip Abner to Triple-A Reno and reassigned both catcher Aramis Garcia and infielder Jacob Amaya to minor league camp.

Per @Dbacks manager Torey Lovullo, catcher Gabriel Moreno was scratched tonight with right forearm tightness. Has had it for a few days. Thought he could go tonight but couldn’t. He’s having imaging done now.

Spent today on the D-backs backfields. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (ACL) and Adrian Del Castillo (calf) homered in back-to-back at-bats. Gurriel also ran down the line in his last appearance of the evening.

A new episode of @SnakesTerritory is live — and it was a fun one! Long-time D-backs outfielder David Peralta stopped by to discuss his decision to retire, stories from his time in Arizona, ABS and much more. Watch: youtu.be/O2xphwSdZBg

Brandyn Garcia left the game with an illness, per Diamondbacks.

D-backs infield prospect Jose Fernandez has put 13 balls in play this spring, and 11 of them have been 95+ mph off the bat. His average exit velocity: 101.7 mph. Very small sample size, but noteworthy.

With A.J. Puk hurt to open the year, Andrew Saalfrank out for the season and Kyle Backhus dealt over the winter, the D-backs' left-handed reliever depth was already wearing thin. Losing Brandyn Garcia too would really sting.

Merrill Kelly says he doesn’t think he’ll be ready for #dbacks opening day. Still trying to determine exactly what is causing the discomfort in back.

Great stuff by our good friends at @SnakesTerritory especially the last few minutes!!!!!

Ketel Marte says that he's been working on his defense. "I need a Gold Glove," he said. When asked about Nolan Arenado's impact: "We've been working together. He's gonna help me win the Gold Glove."

Geraldo Perdomo on Nolan Arenado’s home run: “This is gonna be his breakout season for sure. He’s gonna look like he’s 28 years old again.”

Corbin Carroll has done it twice, both of which came last year.

Ryan Waldschmidt's first Cactus League batted ball had an exit velocity of 115.6 mph. For reference, none of Gabriel Moreno, Geraldo Perdomo, Nolan Arenado, Carlos Santana or Pavin Smith have ever hit a ball 115+ mph in a regular season game.
