NEW YORK (AP) Jeff Mathis has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a broken right hand, leaving the Arizona Diamondbacks without their top catcher as they make a playoff push.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo says it’s too early to tell whether Mathis will miss the rest of the season. The 13-year major league veteran, valued for his fine defense and leadership, was injured Monday night against the New York Mets when his bare hand was hit by a foul ball.
In other moves Tuesday, the Diamondbacks reinstated outfielder Reymond Fuentes from the 10-day DL and recalled right-hander Jake Barrett from Triple-A Reno to provide a fresh arm in the bullpen. Right-hander Jimmie Sherfy was optioned to Reno after pitching a perfect ninth inning Monday for his first major league win.
Fuentes had been sidelined with a bruised left thumb after getting hurt July 18.
