Jon Duplantier

Jon Duplantier was optioned to the Diamondbacks Triple-A affiliate in Reno.

Fantasy Impact

This move isn't surprising as Duplantier struggled this spring. Over six innings of work he posted a 1.33 K/BB ratio and a whopping 9 BB/9. He figured to be the odd man out for the final rotation spot and with the season temporarily on hold, Duplantier can't improve his body of work. He will likely be called up for some relief work whenever the season gets underway.

Duplantier was called up earlier in the week and pitched two innings of relief in Friday's game, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out two. Taylor Clarke was recalled in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks have placed Jon Duplantier on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Stefan Crichton has been recalled from Triple-A Reno.

Fantasy Impact

Duplantier was coming off a rough start in his last outing, and it's likely that the shoulder inflammation was to blame. It's unclear who will start for the Diamondbacks against the Nationals this weekend, as Crichton is a reliever. But regardless, owners who picked up Duplantier for his two-start week are out of luck.

Jon Duplantier took the loss on Tuesday versus the Phillies, giving up four runs on seven hits in just three innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Duplantier also walked a batter and only struck out one. The 24-year-old pitched better in his first two starts this year, so tonight's outcome is a bit disappointing. Still, it could be attributed to a tough matchup. He'll take on the Nationals on the road next time out.

Jon Duplantier received a no-decision on Wednesday versus the Dodgers, striking out seven while allowing two runs in five innings of work.

Fantasy Impact

Duplantier allowed just three hits and one walk in the outing as Arizona went on to win 3-2 in extra innings. He threw just 71 pitches in this one as he was being used out of the bullpen earlier in the year. Duplantier will carry an impressive 3.27 ERA into a tough matchup versus the Phillies next time out.
