Ketel Marte - Plates game winning run Marte went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.

Impact Marte did not get the ball out of the infield in first four at-bats, but he salvaged the night with a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to plate the game-winning run. He's hit safely in 10 of the last 11 games, going 17-for-43 (.395) with a double, three triples, two home runs, six RBI, seven walks and seven runs scored.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Shows life in bat Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 4-3 extra innings win over San Francisco.

Impact Gurriel's sixth-inning double knotted the game at 2-2, setting up the extra innings. The two hits was the most life seen in his bat over the last two weeks. The outfielder/DH entered the contest on a 3-for-42 (.071) run over the previous 11 games.

Corbin Carroll - Keeps running Monday Carroll went 1-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.

Impact Carroll has logged a steal in four of his last five games, giving him 33 thefts on the year. He had gone four contests without an RBI entering Monday before plating the Diamondbacks' opening run in the sixth inning. The outfielder is slashing .281/.360/.538 with 21 home runs, 58 RBI, 77 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples over 102 contests.

Scott McGough - Converts ninth save McGough struck out two without putting a runner on base to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Giants.

Impact McGough uncorked a wild pitch that moved the initial runner to third base, but that was his only mistake. The save was his ninth of the year and his second in a row, but McGough's chances to close are likely to dry up following Arizona's trade for Paul Sewald. McGough has a 4.30 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB with 13 holds and four blown saves over 52.1 innings -- he should be able to maintain a setup role, and his strikeout upside could keep him on the fantasy radar in NL-only formats.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryne Nelson - Turns in quality start Nelson allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Impact Aside from the lack of strikeouts, it was a strong showing for Nelson following his five-run mess against the Cardinals a week ago. The right-hander had quality starts in three of his six outings in July, though he continues to mix in fairly equal shares of good and bad performances. For the season, he's at a 4.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 75:36 K:BB through 119 innings over 22 starts. Nelson is projected for a road start in Minnesota this weekend.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Jace Peterson - Sent to Snakes The Athletics traded Peterson to the Diamondbacks on Monday in exchange for Chad Patrick.

Impact Through 324 plate appearances this season, Peterson holds a .637 OPS -- his lowest mark since 2019 (.599). However, the 33-year-old utilityman is slashing .313/.410/.438 since the All-Star break and will now provide Arizona with a hot bat off the bench that is capable of fielding nearly every defensive position. Peterson likely won't see many starts with his new team, but his versatility should be enough to get him into the lineup every once in a while.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Castillo - Back in majors The Diamondbacks recalled Castillo from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact Josh Rojas was sent to Seattle as part of the Paul Sewald trade, so Castillo will join the major-league squad to make up for lost depth. The 25-year-old infielder has yet to play in a big-league game this season, but he's slashed .340/.442/.450 across 370 plate appearances in Triple-A.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Lewis - Recalled to Arizona The Diamondbacks recalled Lewis from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Impact With Dominic Canzone headed to Seattle as part of the Paul Sewald deal, Arizona will bring up Lewis to fill the gaps in its active roster. Lewis holds a 1.040 OPS through 181 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, but he's had minimal success in the majors since 2022.

Paul Sewald trade reaction: Arizona Diamondbacks get 'legit' closer from Seattle Mariners Was the Arizona Diamondbacks' trade for Paul Sewald a good one? Check out the social media reaction to the deal with the Seattle Mariners.

JULY 31, 2023 • AZCENTRAL.COM

Paul Sewald - Dealt to Arizona The Mariners traded Sewald to the Diamondbacks on Monday in exchange for Dominic Canzone, Josh Rojas and Ryan Bliss, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact This is a great landing spot for Sewald as it pertains to his fantasy value, as he shouldn't have any competition for saves in Arizona. The Diamondbacks had been using a committee approach to the ninth inning, and Sewald has a 2.93 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 21 saves in 43 innings this season. He also has 55 career saves and is under team control through the 2024. season.

Slade Cecconi - Set to join big-league rotation The Diamondbacks plan to call up Cecconi from Triple-A Reno this week to replace the injured Tommy Henry (elbow) in the rotation, John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Arizona has yet to confirm that Cecconi will be promoted, but the 24-year-old right-hander is expected to be formally called up Wednesday to start or serve as a primary pitcher later that day in San Francisco. While pitching in the hitter-friendly confines of the Pacific Coast League, Cecconi has posted a 6.38 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 103 innings. Keeping the ball in the yard (2.01 HR/9) has been an issue for Cecconi, but he's done a decent job of making bats miss (23.1 K%) while also keeping his walks in check (6.4 BB%). Cecconi could have some longevity in the Arizona rotation if he comes through with a serviceable outing in his MLB debut.

Slade Cecconi - Could be rotation fill-in Cecconi is the most likely internal candidate to fill the rotation spot made available after the Diamondbacks placed Tommy Henry (elbow) on the injured list, Nick Piecoro of the Ar...

Impact Given the high asking price for starting pitching on the trade market, the Diamondbacks may opt to use internal candidates to fill in for Henry, who will miss at least 15 days. Cecconi's overall numbers at Triple-A Reno don't excite -- 4-8, 6.38 ERA, 2.0 HR/9 -- but the right-hander's work since the middle of June shows improvement. Another righty, Bryce Jarvis, is also being considered.

JULY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cole Sulser - Used immediately off IL Sulser allowed one run on two hits over one inning in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Sulser was activated off the injured list Sunday and used right away in a low-leverage spot. The right-hander mopped up the ninth inning of Arizona's eighth loss in 10 games.

Merrill Kelly - Yields three runs in loss Kelly (9-5) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against Seattle.

Impact All three runs scored against Kelly came in the first two innings but he eventually settled in and retired the final eight batters he faced. The 34-year-old righty has given up three or fewer runs in 15 of his 18 starts this season, resulting in a 3.23 ERA over 106 frames. He's allowed four runs in two starts since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list. Kelly's next outing is projected to be in Minnesota.
