Arizona Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks reliever Charles Brewer was optioned to Triple-A Reno Tuesday to make room for Randall Delgado's recalled, but that does not mean he has let it get to him.

"He's very confident, you guys know that," manager Kirk Gibson told MLB.com. "He's not pouting about it, he just knows it's part of his journey to be up here and have a huge impact on our success. He's got a great attitude about it."  

Brewer tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings in two appearances out of the bullpen for the Diamondbacks before being sent back down.

Diamondbacks starting pitcher Randall Delgado made a strong return to the rotation Tuesday against the Marlins, as he tossed seven strong innings in a no-decision.

Delgado had just one rough inning, allowing two runs in the fourth. He allowed four of his eight hits in that inning, but was able to get out of it with just the two runs, and that was all the Marlins would muster in a 3-2 loss. The Diamondbacks won the game on a walk-off home run.  

Delgado allowed eight hits and no walks in seven innings, while striking out six batters. Despite the solid outing, Delgado may not be long for the rotation, as the team does not need a fifth starter until June 29, given the way their off-days stack up. It has not yet been decided whether Delgado will remain with the team at this point. 

The Diamondbacks announced Tuesday the signing of Braden Shipley, their 2013 first-round draft pick. Shipley received a $2.25 million signing bonus.

Shipley put up a 2.77 ERA with 102 strikeouts as a junior at the University of Nevada, earning Mountain West Coast co-pitcher of the year honors. 

Diamondbacks closer J.J. Putz will begin his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Reno, according to FoxSportsArizona.com. Putz will also pitch Saturday, and then Monday and Tuesday, before the team considers activating him from the disabled list.

Putz has not pitched since May 7 due to an elbow injury. 

The Diamondbacks hope reliever Matt Reynolds' torn left UCL will be able to heal without needing surgery, after a six-week rehab process.

Reynolds received a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, who confirmed the slight tear in his left elbow should heal without requiring Tommy John surgery.

"From what I understand, it's in a good spot," Reynolds told MLB.com. "And hopefully I can just wait around, rehab it for a little while and be good as new."

Initially, Reynolds was not too concerned about the pain his pitching arm, having never dealt with arm trouble before.

"I had been getting some treatment on it," Reynolds said. "It felt a little achy and was getting some treatment and felt it was almost out of there, and then it started coming back a little bit."
