D-backs recall Clay Buchholz from Triple-A Reno

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected the contract of RHP Clay Buchholz from Triple-A Reno and optioned RHP Jimmie Sherfy to Reno following last night's game. To make room on the 40-man roster for Buchholz, the D-backs transferred RHP Randall Delgado (strained left oblique) to the 60-day disabled list.
Buchholz, 33, a 2-time AL All-Star (2010, '13), combined to go 1-1 with a 2.93 ERA (9 ER in 27.2 IP) in 5 starts with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha in the Kansas City Royals' organization and Reno in 2018. He signed with Arizona as a Minor League free agent on May 4 after his release from the Royals on May 1.
Buchholz, who will wear No. 32, finished sixth in the 2010 AL Cy Young Award voting, going 17-7 with a 2.33 ERA (45 ER in 173.2 IP) with the Boston Red Sox. He also threw the 17th no-hitter in Red Sox history in his second start on September 1, 2007 vs. Baltimore Orioles, the second pitcher to throw a no-hitter in their first or second career Major League start (also: Wilson Alvarez of the Chicago White Sox on August 11, 1992 @ Orioles).
The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder has gone 81-62 with a 4.01 ERA (524 ER in 1,175.0 IP) in 208 games (190 starts) in 11 Major League seasons with the Red Sox (2007-16) and Philadelphia Phillies (2017). He made 2 starts with the Phillies last season before undergoing season-ending surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm on April 18.
Sherfy, 26, made 3 scoreless appearances (2.0 IP) with Arizona this season, and has not allowed a run in 14 career outings, the fifth-longest streak to start a D-backs career.
Delgado, 28, was placed on the 10-day disabled list on March 26.
