Holton was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Holton has spent most of the season in Reno and has recorded a 3.29 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 27.1 innings over 18 relief appearances in the minors. The southpaw should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations but will be able to handle multi-inning outings if needed.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Holton: Contract selected by Diamondbacks
Rotowire
Holton's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Holton began the year at Triple-A Reno and posted a 6.75 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in eight innings over five relief appearances. He'll be available to make his major-league debut out of the bullpen after J.B. Wendelken (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list and Tyler Gilbert was optioned to Reno. However, it seems unlikely that Holton will pitch in high-leverage situations.
