Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Arizona Diamondbacks placed first baseman Pavin Smith on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with a left quad strain in advance of the opener of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.
The Diamondbacks also optioned right-hander Taylor Rashi to Triple-A Reno, while shortstop Jordan Lawlar and left-hander Brandyn Garcia were recalled from Triple-A.
Smith, 29, is batting .258 with eight home runs and 28 RBIs in 87 games this season. Over six seasons in Arizona, he is a career .246 hitter with 45 home runs and 180 RBIs.
Rashi, 29, made his major league debut in spectacular fashion Thursday at Milwaukee when he gave up two hits over three scoreless innings of relief to earn the save for a depleted bullpen.
Lawlar, 23, is making his second appearance in the major leagues this season. The first-round draft pick in 2021 made his major league debut in 2023. He is batting .080 over his first 22 major league games.
Garcia, 25, made his major league debut July 21 and has a 10.80 ERA in four combined relief appearances for the Seattle Mariners and Diamondbacks this season.
