The right-hander has posted a 3.16 ERA (11 ER/31.1 IP) and 10.34 strikeouts per nine innings (36 strikeouts) over 18 appearances (one start) for Worcester this season. The Venezuelan native owns a 4.82 ERA (48 ER/89.2 IP) in 92 Major League appearances, all with the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2015-20.
