The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves:
- Reinstated RHP Luke Weaver from the 60-day injured list (right elbow inflammation).
- Optioned RHP Edwin Uceta to Triple-A Reno following last night’s game.
- Designated INF Drew Ellis for assignment.
Rob Thomson is probably wondering what all the fuss is about managing at the major-league level. For since replacing Joe Girardi as manager of the Phillies, Thomson is 8-0, with his team outscoring the opposition by a handy 58-19 margin. I don’t know what the record is for the longest winning streak is by a new manager, but this surely has to be close to it.
