The Diamondbacks placed outfielder Jason Kubel on the paternity list Wednesday and recalled outfielder A.J. Pollock from Triple-A Reno.

Kubel, 30, returned to Phoenix on Wednesday morning for the birth of his second child, Heidi Evelyn, at 11:56 a.m. By rule, he will miss a minimum of one day and a maximum of three.

Pollock, 24, was hitting .354 with nine doubles and 13 RBIs in 22 games with Reno. He batted .229 (11 for 48) with two doubles, one home run and four RBIs with the D-backs from April 18 to May 18 before being sent down when center field Chris Young returned from a shoulder injury.
