Arizona is fighting for a wild-card playoff spot and they promoted Saalfrank to beef up their pitching staff. Before being promoted, he spent time between Triple-A Reno and Double-A Amarillo, striking out 93 hitters in just 64 innings. Here's a link to an article from Hoosiers Now on FanNation:

- Thread starter ptrich
- Start date
Great … we need more MLB representation .. meanwhile I read Schwarber hit HR #40 recently.
As long as Schwarber can continue hitting the long ball consistently, there will always be a place for him in the majors.
Here's a short video on Saalfrank that was posted at iubase.com's X account. Saalfrank and Arizona are in Chicago to take on the White Sox. In the game today which was won by Arizona 3-0, Saalfrank pitched one inning and gave up a hit but had two Ks in the inning. He currently has an ERA of 0.00 in 9.2 IP since joining the Diamondbacks.
