The Diamondbacks optioned Abner to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Abner was called up to the big club Thursday after Taylor Clarke landed on the family medical emergency list. In his lone appearances with the Diamondbacks, Abner gave up five runs over 1.1 innings against Washington on Friday. Clarke was reinstated Sunday, so Abner will move back to Reno to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster.

The Diamondbacks recalled Abner from Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Abner will join Kade Strowd on the trip back to the majors to replace Brandon Pfaadt and Taylor Clarke (bereavement) in Arizona's bullpen. Abner gave up two earned runs in 2.1 innings during his lone appearance with the D-backs this season and has pitched to a 5.12 ERA in 19.1 frames during his time in Triple-A, so he shouldn't be expected to receive much more than low-leverage work.
