The Diamondbacks activated third baseman Jake Lamb from the 15-day disabled list, the club announced on Twitter. To make room for him on the roster, C/IF Jordan Pacheco has been designated for assignment.
Lamb, 24, had been sidelined since mid-April with a stress fracture in his left foot. He was off to a hot start, batting .414/.514/.690 with one home run and nine RBI in 35 plate appearances.
Pacheco, 29, had been serving as the Diamondbacks’ back-up catcher, but he became expendable after the club acquired Jarrod Saltalamacchia and traded for Welington Castillo. He is hitting .242/.333/.333 with two home runs and eight RBI in 78 plate appearances.
