National League team-by-team notebook -- Wednesday, September 12, 2012 (The SportsXchange)

Arizona: RH closer J.J. Putz was unable to pitch Tuesday because his back stiffened, and it had not improved Wednesday afternoon, manager Kirk Gibson said. RH reliever David Hernandez worked a scoreless ninth to save a 1-0 victory Tuesday. It was his third save of the season. ... RHP Trevor Bauer won his second playoff game for Class AAA Reno on Tuesday, beating Omaha 13-1 in the first game of the Pacific Coast League final. Gibson reiterated "it's a possibility" that Bauer could get another start in the majors this season.Mario Batali Eric Idle/ Mike Nichols Adriana Lima
