The Arizona Diamondbacks moved closer to announcing their official Opening Day roster Wednesday, agreeing to terms with left-handed pitcher Jalen Beeks on a one-year contract and selecting right-handed pitcher Shelby Miller to the major league roster.

To make room for Beeks on the 40-man roster, left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery was placed on the 60-day injured list with a sprained left ulnar collateral ligament that will require season-ending Tommy John surgery.
