Arizona Diamondbacks Daily: Tommy Henry set for 2023 debut against Kansas City Royals
The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Kansas City Royals in a 3-game series beginning Monday night. Follow our updates on the series at Chase Field.The Diamondbacks optioned Drey Jameson to Triple-A Reno ahead of their series opener against the Royals.
Left-hander Tommy Henry was already in line to be promoted Monday. Henry is starting the opener in what had been Madison Bumgarner's spot in the rotation before the veteran was designated for assignment last week. However, the move to option Jameson comes as a surprise. The 25-year-old rookie had been effective out of the bullpen before moving into the rotation when Zach Davies went down with a left oblique strain. He was effective in his first start but struggled in each of his past two. He was unable to locate his fastball and struggled to get swings and misses with his slider, which is considered his best pitch. In Sunday's loss to the Padres, he was removed after the first inning, having allowed three runs on three hits and three walks.
In theory, the Diamondbacks could go with a four-man rotation for the next two weeks. They have three off days between now and May 4. The next time they will need a fifth starter is May 9 against the Marlins. However, they could also opt to call up Brandon Pfaadt, their top pitching prospect, from Reno. Pfaadt has a 3.54 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings.At Chase Field, 6:40 p.m., Diamondbacks LHP Tommy Henry vs. Royals RHP Brad Keller .
