Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Poised for activation Monday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks are expected to reinstate Gurriel (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Angels, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Arizona plans to option outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno to clear a spot on the active roster for Gurriel, who has been shelved since May 23 due to a left hamstring strain. Gurriel looks to have made a full recovery from the injury after making three of his starts in left field during his five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last week, going 4-for-16 with a double and a walk during those contests.

Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: Appears headed back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks are expected to option Waldschmidt to Triple-A Reno prior to Monday's game against the Angels, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
With Jordan Lawlar recently coming back from the 60-day IL and Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) on track to return from the 10-day IL this week, Waldschmidt looks like he'll be caught up in a numbers game in the Arizona outfield. Regarded as one of the top prospects in Arizona's system, Waldschmidt submitted an .881 OPS in his first 16 games in the majors following his May 8 promotion, but he's slashed just .180/.231/.262 with a 4.6 percent walk rate and 36.9 percent strikeout rate in his 17 games since. The impending assignment to Reno should enable Waldschmidt to get a mental reset, and if he's able to resume raking in the Pacific Coast League, he may not have to wait long before earning another call-up.

Diamondbacks' Aramis Garcia: Sent outright to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks outrighted Garcia to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
Garcia passed through the waivers process unclaimed after being removed from Arizona's 40-man roster. The 33-year-old accepted an outright assignment by the Diamondbacks in May, and it appears he will again stick around in the organization.

Diamondbacks' Jordan Lawlar: Logs steal in win
Rotowire
Lawlar went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.
This was Lawlar's second appearance since coming off the injured list, and he's swiped bags in both contests (three overall), upping his total to four over eight games this season. Other than 2024, when injuries limited him to 23 games, Lawlar's posted double-digit stolen bases every year since becoming a full-time professional.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy: Swats homer in win
Rotowire
Troy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.
Troy got the Diamondbacks on the board in the third inning, when he tied the game at 1-1 with his second home run since being called up in May. After a strong two-week run upon his introduction to the majors, the prospect has slumped over the last week, going 2-for-21 with a 24.0 K% over the last seven contests. When the club decides to bring Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) off the injured list, Troy's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Homer, stolen base in win
Rotowire
Perdomo went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds.
Perdomo put the Diamondbacks ahead in the sixth inning with his 400-foot blast off Tejay Antone, his fourth of the year and first in 15 games. Perdomo got off to a slow start this season, though he's started to swing the bat better of late, going 14-for-39 (.359) with an .892 OPS in his last 12 contests. Overall, he's slashing .244/.350/.359 across 284 plate appearances this season with 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Logs quality start vs. Reds
Rotowire
Gallen did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Reds, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Gallen was solid overall against Cincinnati, as he logged his first quality start since May 18 -- he struggled to a 6.97 ERA across 20.2 innings in four starts prior to Sunday. Overall, Gallen is 3-5 with a 5.35 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB across 15 starts (75.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Twins at home his next time out.

Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Up to 17 saves
Rotowire
Sewald earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds, logging a strikeout and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.
Sewald has converted eight straight save chances while allowing just one run on four hits in his last 11 innings. He's up to 17 saves overall this season, tied for third-most in the National League, while posting a 3.08 ERA with a 0.72 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 26.1 innings.
Diamondbacks' Ryan Waldschmidt: Sitting amid cold spell
Rotowire
Waldschmidt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The Diamondbacks will keep Waldschmidt on the bench for the second time in four games while the rookie has hit a bit of a rough patch over the past few weeks. Waldschmidt has struck out at least once in each of his last 10 games and is slashing .211/.250/.316 with no home runs or stolen bases and just one run and one RBI over that stretch.

Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Heading to bench vs. lefty
Rotowire
Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The left-handed-hitting Smith will head to the bench for the third time in four games while the Reds send lefty Andrew Abbott to the hill. LuJames Groover will get the nod at first base Sunday in place of Smith.
Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll: Supplies lone offense in loss
Rotowire
Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Reds.
Carroll gave the Diamondbacks an early lead with a first-inning homer, but for a second consecutive game, the team couldn't take advantage of its opportunities. Arizona was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base. For Carroll, the home run was his 12th of the season and fifth in the last 11 contests.

Diamondbacks' Lourdes Gurriel: Will be reassessed
Rotowire
Gurriel (hamstring) is expected to be reassessed after playing rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex Leage on Friday and Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Gurriel has played five of the last six days in the ACL, switching between left field and designated hitter. His addition will create a crowded outfield around Corbin Carroll, with Jordan Lawlar, Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy all vying for playing time.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Impressive again in no-decision
Rotowire
Soroka completed seven innings against Cincinnati on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out seven batters in a no-decision.
Soroka gave up a run on two hits in the third inning, but aside from that frame the only baserunner he allowed came on a first-inning hit-by-pitch. The right-hander retired the final 13 batters he faced and finished with his sixth quality start over his past eight outings while fanning seven batters. Soroka is in the midst of an excellent campaign, posting an 8-3 record along with a 3.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 79:17 K:BB over 81 innings spanning 14 starts. Perhaps most importantly, he's managed to stay healthy -- he's nine innings away from reaching 90 in the majors for the first time since the 2019 season.
Sewald struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save in Friday's win over Cincinnati.
Sewald needed eight pitches to strike out Dane Myers to lead off the inning, but it took just five more offerings for Sewald to collect the final two outs and lock down his 16th save of the season -- good for fourth in the National League. The 36-year-old righty has been much more effective recently than his 3.20 ERA might suggest, allowing just one run and striking out nine batters across his last 10 innings.
Rodriguez didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-2 win over the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and five walks while striking out three batters in 2.2 innings.
It was immediately clear that Rodriguez didn't have his best stuff going Friday. He issued three free passes in the first inning and needed 40 pitches to collect his first three outs, though he managed to do so without giving up a run. The runs would come later, courtesy of a solo homer from Noelvi Marte in the second and an RBI single from Eugenio Suarez in the third. The D-backs made the call to take Rodriguez out of the game once he had reached 85 pitches midway through the third inning, marking the southpaw's shortest start of the season. He'll carry a 2.55 ERA and 1.23 WHIP into his next outing, which figures to be a relatively favorable matchup at home against the Angels.
