Wales have called up uncapped Newport Gwent Dragons lock Cory Hill for this season's autumn Tests.
Wales U20 international Hill has trained with the national squad under interim head coach Rob Howley's guidance this week.
And the Welsh Rugby Union confirmed that 24-year-old Hill has now been added to a 36-man group preparing for games against Australia, Argentina, Japan and South Africa next month.
The WRU, meanwhile, gave no further updates on Wednesday regarding current injured players.
Lock Jake Ball, his Scarlets colleagues Liam Williams and Scott Williams, plus Northampton wing George North, have all suffered recent knocks.

Ball and Liam Williams, meanwhile, were hurt during the Scarlets' European Champions Cup defeat to Saracens four days ago.
Four Wales squad members have been released back to their regions for Guinness PRO12 derby action later this week.
Cardiff Blues pair Lloyd Williams and Rhys Gill, plus Ospreys forwards Scott Baldwin and Dan Lydiate, will be available for respective clashes against the Scarlets and Dragons.
And Ospreys wing Keelan Giles, who has been training with Wales this week, is also available for regional duty.
