Tommy Troy - Homers in loss Troy started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Troy crushed a fastball 444 feet to dead center field in the seventh inning, his third homer in 25 games. This was the third consecutive start in left field for Troy, who is in line for a regular role in starting lineups and may eventually see time in center field following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Lourdes Gurriel, who normally starts in left field and recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring, operated as the DH for the second time in the last three contests.

Tim Tawa - Moves into starting lineup Tawa started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a double in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Tawa moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Reno over the weekend. He defended center field, which has become a hole following the injury to Jordan Lawlar (hamstring). Jorge Barrosa started there in the first two games without Lawlar prior to Tawa on Monday.

Merrill Kelly - Suffers seventh loss Kelly (5-7) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings against St. Louis. He struck out two.

Impact Kelly ran into some trouble in the third and fourth innings but was able to mitigate the damage fairly well and record a quality start, though a lack of offense from Arizona saddled the 37-year-old with the loss. The right-hander has had spurts of success but has mostly struggled in 2026, posting a 5.71 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 44:31 K:BB across 75.2 innings (13 starts). Having lost each of his four most recent starts, Kelly will look to reverse that trend in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday at Tampa Bay.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: Reasons For Second-Half Optimism For All 30 Teams

Tommy Troy - Needs work to learn CF Troy will work with Diamondbacks outfielders coach Dave McKay to learn defending center field, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Troy started the last two games in left field, while Jorge Barrosa replaced the injured Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) in center field, but Troy is considered the better hitter of the two. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo wants Troy to get more practice in center before entrusting to the position him. Given that left fielder Lourdes Gurriel is back from injury, finding a home for Troy in center field makes sense.

Jorge Barrosa - Makes second straight start Barrosa started in center field and went 0-for-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Barrosa made a second consecutive start in center field after the club placed Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Saturday. He's projected to miss between four and six weeks, which means an opportunity for the light-hitting Barrosa, who is slashing .181/.252/.352 over 119 plate appearances. Prospect Tommy Troy is also an option, but manager Torey Lovullo wants him to work with outfielders coach Dave McKay before entrusting him to center field, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports.

Kohl Drake - Option to start Wednesday Drake is an option to start Wednesday against the Cardinals, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Diamondbacks received a boost Sunday when Jose Cabrera filled in for the injured Ryne Nelson (elbow), but the club also needs to deal with another rotation hole created by an injury to Michael Soroka (lower body), whose turn is due Wednesday. Arizona called up Drake, a starter in the minors, on Sunday for potential length out of the bullpen, which was not needed thanks to Cabrera's five-inning effort.

Jose Cabrera - Shows well in debut Cabrera allowed three hits and a hit batsman while striking out three and walking none over five-plus scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.

Impact Cabrera threw 42 of 62 pitches for strikes in his major-league debut. He has averaged just over five innings a start in the minors this season (61 innings over 12 outings), so he may need some time to stretch out if he's going to be part of Arizona's rotation for a while. The opportunity is there if he pitches well, as Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) are both on the injured list. Cabrera pitched well enough to get at least one more look, tentatively scheduled to be on the road versus the Rays.

Yilber Díaz - Loses 40-man spot The Diamondbacks designated Diaz for assignment Sunday.

Impact Diaz gave up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Jose Cabrera, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Reno ahead of his first MLB start Sunday versus the Twins. After making eight appearances for Arizona over the previous two seasons, Diaz turned in a disastrous performance out of the bullpen in his return to the big leagues. He retired just two of the 10 batters he faced in Saturday's 16-8 loss, surrendering seven earned runs on seven hits and one walk before being lifted from the contest.

Philip Abner - Heading back to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Abner to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Impact Since Abner was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least a couple of days after tossing 2.2 scoreless innings and 44 pitches, the Diamondbacks opted to send him to Triple-A in exchange for a fresh arm. Arizona recalled lefty Kohl Drake from Reno in a corresponding move, giving the bullpen a fresh arm who's capable of covering multiple innings.

Ildemaro Vargas - Drawing start against righty Vargas will start at first base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Vargas will crack the starting nine for the fourth time in five games, though Sunday marks the first time during that stretch that the'll be included in the lineup against a right-hander (Mike Paredes). Over Arizona's last four contests, Vargas has gone 3-for-12 with one double, two walks, five RBI and three runs, but he's still sitting on a lowly .368 OPS overall in June.
