The Diamondbacks optioned Abner to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Since Abner was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least a couple of days after tossing 2.2 scoreless innings and 44 pitches Saturday, the Diamondbacks opted to send him to Triple-A. Arizona recalled lefty Kohl Drake from Reno in a corresponding move, giving the bullpen a fresh arm capable of covering multiple innings.

Abner will return to the big leagues to replace Michael Soroka, who landed on the injured list Saturday with a glute strain. Abner has given up seven earned runs in just 3.2 innings with the big club this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in the majors.

The Diamondbacks recalled Abner from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Abner will join Kade Strowd on the trip back to the majors to replace Brandon Pfaadt and Taylor Clarke (bereavement) in Arizona's bullpen. Abner gave up two earned runs in 2.1 innings during his lone appearance with the D-backs this season and has pitched to a 5.12 ERA in 19.1 frames during his time in Triple-A, so he shouldn't be expected to receive much more than low-leverage work.
