Ryne Nelson - Six strong innings in seventh win Nelson (7-3) notched the win Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.
Impact Wednesday marked Nelson's third straight start of at least six innings and his eighth consecutive of at least five frames. While the three strikeouts were his fewest over that eight-start span, the right-hander has surrendered two runs or fewer five times during that period. Nelson sports a 3.53 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 108:32 K:BB across 125 innings in 2025 ahead of his next scheduled outing, which lines up for next week at home versus the Rangers.

Andrew Saalfrank - Records five outs for save Saalfrank picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee, allowing one hit and no walks in 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.
Impact Saalfrank turned in his fifth straight scoreless outing and threw a season-high 29 pitches. Kyle Backhus recorded two outs in the seventh inning for a hold, which does suggest Saalfrank is ahead of Backhus in Arizona's closer hierarchy. Ryan Thompson (shoulder) could also factor into the mix once he completes his rehab assignment, so this situation is perhaps in a state of flux. Saalfrank at least appears to be one of the favorites for saves, submitting a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over his 20 innings.

Blaze Alexander - Launches sixth homer Wednesday Alexander went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee.
Impact Alexander smashed his sixth homer of the campaign, with each blast having come in the month of August. With Eugenio Suarez now in Seattle, Alexander is set to continue operating as Arizona's primary third baseman for the remainder of the year. The 26-year-old infielder is batting just .236 but has four doubles, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored over his last 89 at-bats.

Pavin Smith - Exits with trainer Smith was removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to left quadriceps tightness.
Impact Smith tweaked his quad while running out of the batter's box after hitting a single in the seventh inning, and he was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but more details may emerge after the game. If the 29-year-old ends up needing to miss time, Tyler Locklear would be the next man up to start at first base.

Brewers vs. Diamondbacks Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 28
Tristin English - Designated for assignment The Diamondbacks designated English for assignment Wednesday.
Impact English lost his place on the active roster in early August after putting up a .266 OPS through seven games. His Triple-A numbers have been a bit more impressive -- .320/.367/.522 through 344 plate appearances -- but he'll now lose his 40-man spot in favor of right-handed pitcher Taylor Rashi. Despite the poor performance during his brief MLB stint, English's minor-league statline may be good enough for another team to be willing to pick him up off waivers.

Juan Morillo - Optioned to Reno The Diamondbacks optioned Morillo to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Impact Morillo gave up a run on one hit and two walks without recording an out in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. His latest appearance elevated his ERA to 4.55 to go with his 1.77 WHIP through 31.2 innings with the D-backs, and he'll now aim to get back on track in the minors. Taylor Rashi was promoted from Reno to take Morillo's place in Arizona's bullpen.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Rashi - Selected to active roster The Diamondbacks selected Rashi's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.
Impact Rashi has spent the entire season in Triple-A, where he owns a 3.48 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP through 67.1 innings. The 29-year-old will now join the big-league roster for the first time in his career to replace Juan Morillo, who was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move. Rashi will likely pitch in middle relief to begin his MLB career.

Nabil Crismatt - Slated for start Crismatt is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Crismatt will make his third straight turn through the rotation Thursday and his second as a traditional starter, after the Diamondbacks previously used him as a bulk reliever behind Jalen Beeks his last time out in Saturday's win over the Reds. Through his first two outings with Arizona upon being called up from Triple-A Reno, Crismatt has covered covered nine innings and has struck out nine batters while giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Ketel Marte - Not in Wednesday's lineup Marte isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact After logging a hit, driving in a run and scoring a run in each of the first two games of the series, Marte will grab a seat on the bench to begin the penultimate contest of Arizona's four-game set in Milwaukee. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at second base and bat ninth.
AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE
Gabriel Moreno - Idle Wednesday Moreno isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Moreno has gone 6-for-16 with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored in four games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a chance to rest his legs Wednesday while James McCann catches for starter Ryne Nelson and bats sixth.
