Diamondbacks recall Tony Campana, option Tyler Skaggs

Well, that didn't last long. Tyler Skaggs' latest spell with the big-league club proved a short one, and didn't involve any actual action. The club has returned to a standard seven-man bullpen, with speedy outfield Tony Campana being added to the roster instead.
