Diamondbacks selected the contract of LHP Philip Abner from Triple-A Reno.

The 23-year-old Abner will be making his major league debut after posting a 3.07 ERA and a 70/16 K/BB in 58 2/3 innings over 53 appearances at three levels. He has a quality slider, but that he throws just 89-92 mph might prove to be a problem for him in the majors.
