The Diamondbacks
optioned Walston to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
ANALYSISSince rejoining the D-backs' bullpen Sept. 15, Walston has surrendered eight runs (five earned) over just 5.2 innings while striking out seven batters and walking one. He and
Yilber Diaz will end up as Arizona's roster casualties following the activation of
Ryne Nelson (shoulder) and promotion of
Alek Thomas, and the 23-year-old Walston likely won't make it back to the majors during the final series of the season this weekend.
