Rene Pinto News: Outrighted to Triple-A

Pinto cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Reno, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Pinto lost the spring battle against Jose Herrera for the backup catcher spot and was dropped from Arizona's 40-man roster Wednesday. Now that he's cleared waivers, Pinto should see regular action at Reno and would presumably be selected to the active roster if Herrera or Gabriel Moreno were to miss time.
