Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks recalled LHP Joe Paterson from Triple-A Reno.

Paterson was a key piece of the big league bullpen in 2011 but was a mess in his short stint with them this year. He'll try to win a spot in the pen next spring.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks optioned LHP Joe Paterson to Triple-A Reno.

Paterson has surrendered 15 hits and 11 runs in just 2 2/3 innings this season. The Snakes will hope for better out of left-hander Mike Zagurski, who was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding roster move.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

John Gambadoro of 620 KTAR expects lefty reliever Joe Paterson to be demoted to Triple-A Reno.

He's hardly going out on a limb there, as Paterson has allowed 11 runs on 15 hits and three walks over just 2 2/3 innings this season, resulting in a stunningly bad 37.13 ERA. Gambadoro also expects left-hander Mike Zagurski to take his place on the roster.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

After entering with a 9-0 lead in the ninth, Joe Paterson gave up five runs without retiring a batter Monday against the Phillies.

Shane Victorino and Carlos Ruiz hit back-to-back homers off him. Paterson did nice work as a lefty specialist for the Diamondbacks as a Rule 5 pick last year, but this is the fourth time in six appearances this season that he's been charged with at least one run. Overall, he's allowed a whopping 15 hits in 2 2/3 innings. A demotion to Triple-A is likely in the cards.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

After Juan Gutierrez and David Hernandez failed to get the job done, Rule 5 pick Joe Paterson picked up his first major league save Friday against the Twins.

The Diamondbacks were up 8-4 at the start of the ninth, so J.J. Putz's unavailability tonight didn't seem like a big issue. However, Gutierrez gave up a homer and a single before being replaced with one out and Hernandez fell apart, giving up an RBI double and then walking three straight batters to make it 8-7. Paterson took over then, fanned Jason Kubel and then got Justin Morneau to ground out to end it. He's yet to give up a run in 10 innings for the Diamondbacks.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic hears that left-hander Joe Paterson has made the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster.

Paterson, a Rule 5 pick, has posted a 5.40 ERA and 12/4 K/BB ratio over 10 innings this spring. If he makes the team, the final spot in the bullpen will likely come down to Esmerling Vasquez or Kam Mickolio.

Joe Paterson - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks selected LHP Joe Paterson from the Giants with the third pick in the Rule 5 Draft.

Paterson, 24, posted a 3.48 ERA and 49/24 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings with Triple-A Fresno this past season. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers knows how to build a bullpen, so it looks like he'll try to him as a left-handed specialist.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Miguel Montero

	2	Eric Hinske
2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. Aaron Hill will have his left hand examined by a doctor next Monday. That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19

LF	1	Jason Kubel

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday that Adam Eaton will "probably" get a second opinion on his left elbow from Dr. James Andrews in the coming days. Eaton was recently pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to renewed discomfort in his elbow. Towers said an MRI showed fluid around his ulnar collateral ligament, but no new damage was found. As of now, he's expected to rest for 2-3 weeks before restarting his rehab program, but he'll get Andrews' opinion just to be on the safe side. May 23

	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday. It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz (elbow) has been playing catch from 90 feet and doing strengthening exercises, Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said Saturday. There is still no timetable for a return, and the Diamondbacks will proceed with caution with their 36-year-old closer. But it's promising that Putz is back to throwing less than a month after there were reports he could need season-ending surgery to fix his elbow problems. May 25
