The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Drake was lit up for five earned runs in four innings during his spot start Friday, and the D-backs will now send him back to the minors in favor of Derek Law. Drake now carries a 6.53 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 20.2 frames with Arizona this year but could still be tapped for another start if the big club's rotation depth is tested further during the final month of the regular season.

Drake allowed five runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.
Drake's first start in the majors since Aug. 6 led to him giving up a season-high five runs. He struggled in two outings for Triple-A during August as well, giving up a total of 10 runs (nine earned) over five innings. Drake is at a 6.53 ERA and 17:7 K:BB through 20.2 innings across his first five starts in the majors. The Diamondbacks have a bit of a patchwork rotation at the moment, which could afford him one more start -- tentatively lined up to be at Houston -- before Michael Soroka (shoulder) and Zac Gallen (elbow) would be ready to return from their respective stints on the injured list.

The Diamondbacks recalled Drake from Triple-A Reno ahead of his start Friday against the Giants.
Drake has turned in a 5.40 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 16.2 innings across his previous four starts with the Diamondbacks this season and will match up Friday against a Giants offense that's logged a .670 OPS since the beginning of August. Juan Burgos was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks are expected to recall Drake from Triple-A Reno to start Friday's game against the Giants in San Francisco.
Arizona will add a new starter to the rotation for the second day in a row, as Jose Cabrera was previously summoned from Reno to get the start Thursday. Drake will be up with Arizona for the third time this season, after turning in a 5.40 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB in 16.2 innings across four starts during his prior two stints in the majors.

The Diamondbacks optioned Drake to Triple-A Reno on Friday.
After giving up three runs in just 3.2 innings during Thursday's loss, bringing his ERA up to 5.40 through 16.2 innings, Drake will now lose his place in Arizona's rotation. Kade Strowd will come up from Reno in a corresponding move to add to the D-backs' bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

Drake (0-1) took the loss against San Diego on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 3.2 innings.
Though he walked only one batter, Drake threw just 46 of 82 pitches for strikes. Three of the six hits the rookie southpaw allowed were doubles, and he didn't miss many bats, recording only three whiffs and one strikeout. Drake logged five innings in his first MLB start July 21 against the A's, but since then each of his three outings has lasted four frames or less. Michael Soroka (glute) recently kicked off a rehab assignment, and Drake is currently the most likely Arizona hurler to be the odd man out of the rotation when Soroka is ready to return.
