PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks called up infielder Cody Ransom from Triple-A Reno on Thursday to replace injured shortstop Stephen Drew.
Drew broke his right ankle in Wednesday night’s game against Milwaukee on a fourth-inning slide to home plate.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said after the game that Drew is out for the season and probably needs surgery.
Arizona put Drew on the 15-day disabled list Thursday and picked up the contract of the 35-year-old Ransom.
