More From Diamondbacks News
The Dbacks have placed Tuffy Gosewisch on the 15-Day DL with a knee injury and have called up Jarrod Saltalamacchia from AAA Reno. This injury to the incumbent starter only makes things more complex. The decision to call up Salty instead of Peter O’Brien also speaks volumes. One things more certain. The competition is on.
So far in 2015, Tuffy is hitting .211 with a home run and 13 RBI. He’s more valued for his defensive abilities. The backup, Jordan Pacheco, is a converted 1st baseman but his offense hasn’t been much of a step above.
