O'Brien was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien was in consideration for a callup after the Diamondbacks outfield became fairly thin due to injuries, and it seems like the organization is ready to give the converted catcher a chance at the big league level. The 25-year-old crushed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a .306/.330/.601 slash line, so if he can continue his mashing ways with the parent club, he could force his way into a larger role. He'll likely begin his tenure in the majors as a reserve outfielder, though.
