The Arizona Diamondbacks got a little bit healthier Wednesday.

The team announced it had reinstated infielder Cliff Pennington from the 15-day disabled list. In a corresponding move, the D-backs optioned pitcher Bo Schultz to Triple-A Reno.

Pennington, 30, was hitting .243 with four doubles, one triple and six RBI in 33 games with the Arizona before spraining his left thumb. He last played for the D-backs on June 1.

Schultz, 28, has appeared in four games for the D-backs this season, going 0-1 with a 7.88 ERA.
