Hathaway Joins Jackson on Rehab Assignment

Mobile, Ala. - The Arizona Diamondbacks made a roster move on Wednesday prior to the team's series opener against the Mobile BayBears. Left-handed pitcher Steve Hathaway has been added to Jackson's roster on a Major League Rehab assignment. With Hathaway being on Arizona's 40-man Major League roster, no corresponding move is necessary.
Hathaway, 26, began last season as the Double-A level. After posting a 1.17 ERA with Mobile in 13 appearances, he was promoted to Triple-A Reno for the first time in his career. He made his Major League debut with the D-backs on July 31 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. Over 24 appearances, he put up a 4.91 ERA in 14.2 innings of work at the big league level.

The Diamondbacks placed Hathaway on the 10-day disabled list with bursitis in his left shoulder on March 31. The injury kept him out of Spring Training.
Hathaway was taken by the Diamondbacks in the 14^th Round of the 2013 MLB Draft out of Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire. He is in his fifth season as a professional.
Jackson's roster currently stands at 25 active players with one on a Major League Rehab assignment and two on the disabled list. Hathaway will wear No. 41 for the Generals.
