Ryan Roberts went 2-for-4 against the Dodgers on Friday

The day actually lowered his spring average to .511 through 47 at-bats. A career .251 hitter through 398 at-bats, Roberts will begin the season as a reserve outfielder and second baseman.

Diamondbacks recalled 2B Ryan Roberts from Triple-A Reno.

He'll take the place of the injured Tony Abreu on the 25-man roster. Roberts, 29, was batting .275/.381/.425 with three homers and 26 RBI in 160 at-bats with the Aces. He batted .279/.367/.416 with seven homers and 25 RBI in 305 at-bats with the Diamondbacks last season, so he could fill the void of Abreu rather ably.
