SAN DIEGO — The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled rookie right-handed relief pitcher Andrew Hoffmann on Friday before first pitch against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The club opened a roster spot by optioning right-hander Austin Pope after his MLB debut on Thursday.
Pope threw 36 pitches on Thursday in two scoreless innings, but the Diamondbacks needed a fresh arm. Arizona designated Nabil Crismatt for assignment and recalled Bryce Jarvis earlier on Friday.
