Mulholland Is Activated

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned rookie starter Enrique Gonzalez to triple-A Tucson after he beat the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Needing another left-hander in the bullpen with 10 games scheduled in a nine-day span, the Diamondbacks activated 43-year-old Terry Mulholland from the 15-day disabled list before the second game of a doubleheader Saturday night.

After his 4-2 victory over the Braves, Gonzalez is 1-0 with a 2.25 earned-run average in two starts. The right-hander has struck out 12 in 12 innings.
