Phoenix ? Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Todd Stottlemyre, unable to bounce back between regular turns in the rotation, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday.

The move was retroactive to Thursday, the day after he allowed six runs on nine hits in 313 innings of a 7-1 loss to the New York Mets.

In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks recalled left-handed reliever Greg Swindell from a rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Tucson and activated him from the 15-day DL.
