The Arizona Diamondbacks reinstated outfielder Jordan Luplow from the 10-day injured list among four roster moves announced Monday afternoon. Arizona also recalled left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert, designated reliver Oliver Perez for assignment and optioned outfielder Jake McCarthy to Triple-A Reno.
Pérez signed a minor-league deal with the Snakes shortly after the lockout lifted. He made the Opening Day roster but had a rough go in the desert.
Since moving to the ’pen on a full-time basis in 2012, Perez carries a 3.45 ERA in 350 innings spread across five different organizations.
The deal with Arizona represents a change of plans for the veteran Perez, who’d previously been slated to play with los Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League for the upcoming season.

Clevinger and Zach Plesac were both demoted after they violated MLB health and safety protocols and went out for a social dinner in Chicago following Plesac's start at the White Sox on Aug. 8.
