Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: Optioned to Reno
Arizona optioned Adrian Del Castillo to Triple-A Reno on Monday.With top catcher Gabriel Moreno returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday, the Arizona Diamondbacks will roll with Jose Herrera as the No. 2 backstop. Del Castillo is slashing .313/.368/.525 over 87 major-league plate appearances this season, but he'll have an everyday role in Reno for the tail end of the Triple-A season. The move makes room on the Diamondbacks' 28-man roster for right-hander Scott McGough.

Diamondbacks' Adrian Del Castillo: On bench, likely to lose work
Adrian Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.With a left-hander (DL Hall) starting for the Brewers, the left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will head to the bench while Jose Herrera gets the nod behind the plate. Though Del Castillo had typically been seeing most of the starts against right-handed pitching since he was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Aug. 6, he and Herrera are both likely to see their opportunities diminish over the final two weeks of the season after Arizona reinstated top backstop Gabriel Moreno (adductor) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Moreno could draw back into the lineup as soon as Monday in Colorado.

Adrian Del Castillo went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 win over the Rangers.After the Rangers plated two runs in the top of the fifth inning, Del Castillo responded immediately with a three-run blast.
