The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves:
- Claimed RHP Sean Poppen (@SPoppen71) off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. Poppen (No. 64) will be active for tonight’s game.

He has a degree in Chemistry and Physics, Engineering Sciences from there, so I will be referring to him going forward as Prof.
