The Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to call up veteran reliever Jeff Brigham as they search for bullpen stability, reports Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro.

The D-backs sent down reliever Kevin Ginkel to Triple-A Reno, per Gambadoro.

Ginkel heads to the minors after posting a 12.60 ERA and 2.10 WHIP in 13 games played (10 innings pitched). He struck out 15 and walked seven during that span.

Brigham spent 2023 with the New York Mets and pitched for the Miami Marlins from 2018-22.

With Triple-A Reno this season, he’s posted a 5.23 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and struck out 32 batters to nine walks over 20.2 innings.

Batters are hitting .213 against him in his 17 appearances in Reno.

In December, the Diamondbacks signed Brigham to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training.

Brigham is 33 years old and joins the organization with 90 career major league appearances between the Marlins and Mets.

The right-hander tossed 37.2 innings for New York in 2023, producing 5.26 ERA while striking out 10 batters per nine innings.

He threw a three-pitch mix, using primarily sweepers (42.2%) along with a 93.5 mph, four-seam fastball and a new cutter, according to Baseball Savant.

Opponents hit .143 with a 30.2% whiff rate when facing the sweeper but found more success against his other fastballs in 2023. His 11.3% walk rate did not help.

New York non-tendered Brigham, who signed with the Minnesota Twins for the 2024 season. He spent the year in Triple-A St. Paul, where he worked a 4.64 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 42.2 innings pitched.
