One roster move was made by the Diamondbacks this morning: Evan Marshall was optioned to AAA Reno. This leaves the team with 44 players left in camp. According to Steve Gilbert, the problem was a lack of available innings, and the team expects him to return at some point.
Ray gets his fifth spring outing, and they’ve generally been getting better as they’ve gone along, which is good to see. He started off by walking three in just 1.1 innings, but last time out he struck out seven and walked none over his four frames. As ever with Ray, pitch efficiency is a thing, and since he’ll probably only get one more outing after this before Opening Day, we’re close to the point where what we see is going to be what we get from him.
