Konrad Schmidt - C - Rangers

Rangers claimed C Konrad Schmidt off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Schmidt, 28, has made a couple brief appearances with the D'Backs the last few years but has spent most of his time at Triple-A, where he batted .277/.338/.413 with seven homers last season. He seems unlikely to earn an Opening Day roster spot.

Konrad Schmidt - C - Rangers

Diamondbacks optioned C Konrad Schmidt to Triple-A Reno.

He was hitless in just four at-bats in his short stint with the big club. Miguel Montero (groin) is expected back in the lineup Monday, so the D'Backs no longer need an extra catcher.

Konrad Schmidt - C - Rangers

The Diamondbacks are expected to recall catcher Konrad Schmidt from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game.

He'll provide some extra insurance behind the plate while Miguel Montero nurses a groin injury. Schmidt, 27, is hitting .274/.336/.419 with three homers and a .755 OPS in 31 games at the Triple-A level this year. Mike Zagurski will likely be sent down in a corresponding roster move.

Konrad Schmidt - C - Rangers

Diamondbacks optioned C Konrad Schmidt to Triple-A Reno; reassigned RHPs Micah Owings and Brian Sweeney and OF Wily Mo Pena to minor league camp.

Schmidt went 4-for-14 (.286) with a pair of homers during exhibition action, but he wasn't going to threaten Henry Blanco for his job. Pena actually played pretty well this spring, too, batting .341 (14-for-41) with one double and three RBI. Perhaps they can convince him to stick around at the Triple-A level.

Schmidt, 26, turned in a solid .315/.373/.490 batting line, 11 homers and 65 RBI in 394 at-bats this season at the Double-A level. He will serve as an emergency third catcher for the D'Backs down the stretch.
