PHOENIX -- The D-backs activated catcher Alex Avila from the 10-day injured list Saturday afternoon.

To make room for Avila, the team optioned infielder Ildemaro Vargas to Triple-A Reno.

Avila had been on the injured list since April 7 due to a strained left quadriceps muscle. Prior to the injury, Avila was 5-for-15 at the plate with a 1.324 OPS.

Avila went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Braves.
