Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Cristian Mena was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation, the team announced before Saturday’s full game began.
Right-hander Christian Montes De Oca was called up and designated as the team’s 27th man Saturday in a corresponding move.
Catcher Aramis Garcia was selected from Triple-A Reno with Gabriel Moreno ailing from a wild pitch by Mena that hit his throwing hand. Garcia is hitting .273 with 10 home runs and 20 RBIs across 110 at-bats for Reno this season.
Mena pitched deep into heavy rain on Friday, allowing one run, two hits and one walk across 27 pitches in a full inning of work.
Montes De Oca was called up earlier this season but did not get an outing over a six-day stretch with the big league club in May. Manager Torey Lovullo said last week that not finding a spot for the young reliever was his biggest regret of the season thus far.
