A few minor transactions via Matt Eddy: C Manny Argomaniz, C Brian Reyes, and 1B Ryan Krill were all released, and OF Matt McPhearson was signed to a minor league deal. McPhearson, 22, was the Diamondbacks’ fourth round pick in 2013. He’s a speed and defense guy who hit .278/.333/.340 (85 wRC+) with 31 steals in 111 High-A games last year. Arizona released McPhearson near the end of Spring Training.

- 1B Ryan McBroom: 2-4, 1 R, 1 K — 4-for-11 (.364) through three games
- RHP David Hale: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 7/5 GB/FB — 46 of 75 pitches were strikes (61%)
- RHP Gio Gallegos: 1 P, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 0/1 GB/FB — 12 of 21 pitches were strikes (57%) … seems the groin is healthy again
- RHP Cody Carroll: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 1/1 GB/FB — 20 of 33 pitches were strikes (61%) … not the best Triple-A debut, but it happens
