Caleb Joseph Recalled From Reno
6 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks recalled catcher Caleb Joseph from Triple-A Reno Wednesday afternoon before their game against the Texas Rangers. The 32-year-old spent the past five seasons in Baltimore, hitting .224 with 31 home runs and 122 RBI in 402 career games. Arizona has had some success at the plate from the catcher spot in Carson Kelly, but John Ryan Murphy, the second catcher on the roster, has struggled. Joseph's promotion coincides with pitcher Jon Duplantier getting sent down to Reno. It remains to be seen just how much playing time Joseph will have, but he could engage Murphy in a position battle for backup catcher.
