TransactionDiamondbacks optioned LHP Phillip Abner to Triple-A Reno; reassigned C Aramis Garcia and INF Jacob Amaya to minor league camp.
Abner is one of the D-backs best relief pitching prospects — yes, that technically is a thing — but won’t make the Opening Day roster. Garcia and Amaya were both signed as non-roster invites but will either test free agency or report to Reno as well.
