Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Getting day off Gurriel is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Atlanta.

Impact It looks to be a routine day of rest for Gurriel after he drove in a pair of runs in Wednesday's victory over Atlanta. Dominic Canzone will be the designated hitter Thursday.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Delivers with two outs Gurriel went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

Impact Gurriel didn't allow Charlie Morton to escape a bases-loaded jam in the third inning and knocked a two-out, two-run double. The RBI were the first since the All-Star break for Gurriel, who snapped a six-game run without driving in a run.

Nick Ahmed - Provides insurance in win Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

Impact Ahmed doubled home a run in the sixth inning then singled in another in the eighth. Those proved to be key insurance runs when Atlanta scored in the seventh and ninth innings. The emergence of Geraldo Perdomo, who typically starts against righties, has limited the Ahmed's opportunities, but the 33-year-old started against righty Charlie Morton. He's slashing .311/.364/.459 against right-handers in 2023.

Jake McCarthy - Swipes two bags in win McCarthy went 2-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases in a 5-3 victory versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

Impact McCarthy capitalized on both of his singles in the contest, swiping second base following each hit. It was the sixth time this season that the speedy outfielder has stolen multiple bags in a contest, and he's up to 22 thefts overall, tied for eighth in the majors. McCarthy spent about a month in the minors early in the season following a slow start to the campaign, but he's been outstanding since his return, slashing .306/.382/.410 with a home run, 10 RBI, 22 runs and 20 thefts in 21 attempts over 43 games.

Kevin Ginkel - May be emerging as closer Ginkel earned a save against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over one inning.

Impact Ginkel's second save in as many days didn't come easily, as he faced the top of Atlanta's order and gave up a run on a double, a walk and a wild pitch. However, he was allowed to close out the victory despite seeing the tying run to come to the plate, which speaks to manager Torey Lovullo's trust in him. Ginkel has earned that trust with a 2.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB over 37.2 innings on the campaign. It may be premature to anoint him the Diamondbacks' full-time closer, but with Scott McGough having given up six runs over 1.1 frames since the All-Star break and having not recorded a save since July 1, Ginkel is likely the best Arizona bullpen option for fantasy managers chasing saves.

Ryne Nelson - Stifles Atlanta in victory Nelson (6-5) earned the win over Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over seven innings.

Impact Nelson didn't overpower the intimidating Atlanta offense, as he tallied just seven whiffs and five punchouts. However, the right-hander was efficient and effective during his seven frames, throwing 52 of 84 pitches for a strike and issuing just one walk. Two of the three hits against him left the park, but each was a solo shot, allowing Nelson to minimize the damage. He's gone seven or more innings in three of his past five outings, notching a quality start and a win in each of the three lengthy appearances. Nelson's 4.82 ERA on the campaign is far from spectacular, but it's partly the result of a handful of blow-ups, and he's given up two or fewer earned runs in nine of his 20 outings overall.

Diamondbacks' rotation left short-handed after Davies lands on IL with back injury

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Davies has been placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back inflammation

JULY 19, 2023 • Associated Press

Carson Kelly - Back on bench Wednesday Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Kelly had started at catcher in each of Arizona's last three games while going 3-for-9 with a run scored. The Diamondbacks don't appear ready to pull the plug on Gabriel Moreno, however, so despite Kelly's recent uptick in starts, he still may be part of a timeshare behind the plate.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Emmanuel Rivera - Takes seat Wednesday Rivera is out of the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Impact Evan Longoria will play third base and bat sixth after Rivera logged three straight starts at the hot corner. Rivera seems to have again gained a leg up on the position, though his overall offensive production remains rather underwhelming for fantasy purposes.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Geraldo Perdomo - On bench Wednesday Perdomo is absent from the lineup Wednesday at Atlanta.

Impact Nick Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus right-hander Charlie Morton and the NL East leaders. This looks to be a routine day of rest for Perdomo, who had two hits and two RBI in the Diamondbacks' 16-13 defeat of Atlanta on Tuesday night.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Mantiply - Recalled from Reno Arizona recalled Mantiply from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Impact Mantiply was optioned to Reno at the end of June and had allowed eight runs -- seven earned -- in 6.2 innings of relief since that demotion. The 32-year-old left-hander figures to operate in a low-leverage bullpen role in his return to the major-league level.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zach Davies - Placed on 15-day IL Arizona placed Davies on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with lower-back inflammation.

Impact Davies struggled mightily in his last start Tuesday at Atlanta, surrendering nine earned runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings while recording only one strikeout. He'll be sidelined until at least early August.
