Chris Iannetta reinstated, Silvino Bracho optioned to Reno

The Arizona Diamondbacks reinstated C Chris Iannetta from the 7-day concussion disabled list. To make room for Iannetta, the D-backs optioned RHP Silvino Bracho to Reno following last night’s game. Iannetta, 34, was placed on the disabled list on May 14 (retro May 13) after being struck in the mouth by a pitch from Pirates’ Johnny Barbato on May 12. He has played in 20 games for Arizona this season, batting .220 (13-for-59) with 3 home runs and 6 RBI, including a .391 (9-for-23) clip vs. left-handed pitching.

Burgos appeared in 73 games for the Diamondbacks in 2015 and 2016, but had not been called up this season. He posted an ERA of 5.27, despite striking out 82 batters in 68.1 innings of work: a walk-rate of five per nine innings is a large part of the reason why.
