The move deals a blow to Arizona's playoff hopes as the team fights for a National League wild card spot.

Ryne Nelson, a key pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.
Nelson's injury is retroactive to September 11, making him eligible to return before the end of the regular season.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo remains optimistic about Nelson's quick recovery, noting the injury is not considered serious.
Left-hander Jordan Montgomery is expected to fill Nelson's spot in the starting rotation.
Arizona has called up left-hander Brandon Hughes to take Nelson's roster spot, and designated catcher Andrew Knizner for assignment.
