ATLANTA (AP) 鈥� Reliever Dennis Santana was called up by the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead of their game against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
The 30-year-old right-hander is joining his sixth big league team, having appeared with the Dodgers, Rangers, Mets, Yankees and Pirates over his nine-year career. He had 16 saves a year ago for Pittsburgh but was last month with a record of 2-5, two saves and a 6.05 ERA in 44 games.
Santana then joined Arizona’s Triple-A team in Reno on a minor-league deal.
Left-hander Philip Abner, who had a 6.00 ERA in 13 appearances, was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks.
