But soon enough, the D-backs will have another catcher to factor into the mix. Rule 5 pick Oscar Hernandez has played in three rehab games for Class A Kane County and is getting closer to a return after breaking a bone in his left hand.
As a Rule 5 selection, the D-backs must keep him on the Major League roster all season or they have to return him to his previous club, the Rays. However, D-backs manager Chip Hale said they will find a way to keep him.
"We're not going to offer him back, he's coming back here," Hale said.
