Behind the scenes, D-backs count on Nevin, Bell

PHOENIX -- In compensating for a starting rotation that didn't pitch deep into games the first six weeks of the season, the D-backs had to do a lot of shuffling between Triple-A Reno and the big league team.

Evan Marshall, Jake Barrett, Matt Buschmann, Silvino Bracho, Kyle Drabek, Archie Bradley, Tyler Wagner and Enrique Burgos are among the pitchers who have ridden the shuttle back and forth.

While it might seem easy to call up Bradley to make a spot start or to be available as a long man out of the bullpen at the big league level, the move creates a ripple effect.
